Speaking of that, the generators that come in the box are awfully slow,
I ended up calling into
http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/ ~m-mat/MT/SFMT/index.html
via the ffi.

I wouldn't know how to fit it into the Random type, though, it only
supports floats and doubles, and converting the C source to use a
struct for its data to make it instantiable is another obstacle.
