/*
* Sampling from the exponential distribution with unit mean using the method
* given in John von Neumann, Various techniques used in connection with random
* digits, in A. S. Householder, G. E. Forsythe, and H. H. Germond, editors,
* "Monte Carlo Method", number 12 in Applied Mathematics Series, pp. 36-38
* (NBS, Washington, DC, 1951), Proceedings of a symposium held June 29-July 1,
* 1949, in Los Angeles.
*
* A modification to this algorithm is given in:
* Charles F. F. Karney,
* "Sampling exactly from the normal distribution",
* ACM Trans. Math. Software 42(1), 3:1-14 (Jan. 2016).
* https://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2710016
* http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.6257
* Although this improves the bit efficiency, in practice, it results in
* a slightly slower algorithm for MPFR. So here the original von Neumann
* algorithm is used.
*
* There are a few "weasel words" regarding the accuracy of this
* implementation. The algorithm produces exactly rounded exponential deviates
* provided that gmp's random number engine delivers truly random bits. If it
* did, the algorithm would be perfect; however, this implementation would have
* problems, e.g., in that the integer part of the exponential deviate is
* represented by an unsigned long, whereas in reality the integer part in
* unbounded. In this implementation, asserts catch overflow in the integer
* part and similar (very, very) unlikely events. In reality, of course, gmp's
* random number engine has a finite internal state (19937 bits in the case of
* the MT19937 method). This means that these unlikely events in fact won't
* occur. If the asserts are triggered, then this is an indication that the
* random number engine is defective. (Even if a hardware random number
* generator were used, the most likely explanation for the triggering of the
* asserts would be that the hardware generator was broken.)
