//! Both of these use 16 bytes of state and 128-bit seeds, and are considered
//! value-stable (i.e. any change affecting the output given a fixed seed would
//! be considered a breaking change to the crate).
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! To initialize a generator, use the [`SeedableRng`][rand_core::SeedableRng] trait:
//!
//! ```
//! use rand_core::{SeedableRng, RngCore};
//! use rand_pcg::Pcg64Mcg;
//!
//! let mut rng = Pcg64Mcg::seed_from_u64(0);
//! let x: u32 = rng.next_u32();
//! ```
//!
//! The functionality of this crate is implemented using traits from the `rand_core` crate, but you may use the `rand`
//! crate for further functionality to initialize the generator from various sources and to generate random values:
//!
//! ```
//! use rand::{Rng, SeedableRng};
//! use rand_pcg::Pcg64Mcg;
//!
//! let mut rng = Pcg64Mcg::from_entropy();
//! let x: f64 = rng.gen();
//! ```
