A simple and fast random number generator.

The implementation uses [Wyrand](https://github.com/wangyi-fudan/wyhash), a simple and fast
generator but **not** cryptographically secure.

## Examples

Flip a coin:

```rust
if fastrand::bool() {
    println!("heads");
} else {
    println!("tails");
}
```

Generate a random `i32`:

```rust
let num = fastrand::i32(..);
```

Choose a random element in an array:

```rust
let v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
let i = fastrand::usize(..v.len());
let elem = v[i];
```

Shuffle an array:

```rust
let mut v = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
fastrand::shuffle(&mut v);
```

Generate a random `Vec` or `String`:

```rust
use std::iter::repeat_with;

let v: Vec<i32> = repeat_with(|| fastrand::i32(..)).take(10).collect();
let s: String = repeat_with(fastrand::alphanumeric).take(10).collect();
```

To get reproducible results on every run, initialize the generator with a seed:

```rust
// Pick an arbitrary number as seed.
fastrand::seed(7);

// Now this prints the same number on every run:
println!("{}", fastrand::u32(..));
```

To be more efficient, create a new `Rng` instance instead of using the thread-local
generator:

```rust
use std::iter::repeat_with;

let rng = fastrand::Rng::new();
let mut bytes: Vec<u8> = repeat_with(|| rng.u8(..)).take(10_000).collect();
```
