+# This creates the tables used for distributions implemented using the
+# ziggurat algorithm in `rand::distributions;`. They are
+# (basically) the tables as used in the ZIGNOR variant (Doornik 2005).
+# They are changed rarely, so the generated file should be checked in
+# to git.
+#
+# It creates 3 tables: X as in the paper, F which is f(x_i), and
+# F_DIFF which is f(x_i) - f(x_{i-1}). The latter two are just cached
+# values which is not done in that paper (but is done in other
+# variants). Note that the adZigR table is unnecessary because of
+# algebra.
+#
+# It is designed to be compatible with Python 2 and 3.
