+/// A wrapper around an `f64` to generate Exp(1) random numbers.
+///
+/// See `Exp` for the general exponential distribution.
+///
+/// Implemented via the ZIGNOR variant[1] of the Ziggurat method. The
+/// exact description in the paper was adjusted to use tables for the
+/// exponential distribution rather than normal.

+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use rand::distributions::exponential::Exp1;
+///
+/// let Exp1(x) = rand::random();
+/// println!("{}", x);
