General notes on the underlying Mersenne Twister core generator:

* The period is 2**19937-1.
* It is one of the most extensively tested generators in existence.
* Without a direct way to compute N steps forward, the semantics of
  jumpahead(n) are weakened to simply jump to another distant state and rely
  on the large period to avoid overlapping sequences.
* The random() method is implemented in C, executes in a single Python step,
  and is, therefore, threadsafe.
