-//! Random number generation traits
-//!
-//! This crate is mainly of interest to crates publishing implementations of
-//! [`RngCore`]. Other users are encouraged to use the [`rand`] crate instead
-//! which re-exports the main traits and error types.
-//!
-//! [`RngCore`] is the core trait implemented by algorithmic pseudo-random number
-//! generators and external random-number sources.
-//!
-//! [`SeedableRng`] is an extension trait for construction from fixed seeds and
-//! other random number generators.
-//!
-//! [`Error`] is provided for error-handling. It is safe to use in `no_std`
-//! environments.
-//!
-//! The [`impls`] and [`le`] sub-modules include a few small functions to assist
-//! implementation of [`RngCore`].

-
-/// The core of a random number generator.
-///
-/// This trait encapsulates the low-level functionality common to all
-/// generators, and is the "back end", to be implemented by generators.
-/// End users should normally use the `Rng` trait from the [`rand`] crate,
-/// which is automatically implemented for every type implementing `RngCore`.
-///
-/// Three different methods for generating random data are provided since the
-/// optimal implementation of each is dependent on the type of generator. There
-/// is no required relationship between the output of each; e.g. many
-/// implementations of [`fill_bytes`] consume a whole number of `u32` or `u64`
-/// values and drop any remaining unused bytes.
-///
-/// The [`try_fill_bytes`] method is a variant of [`fill_bytes`] allowing error
-/// handling; it is not deemed sufficiently useful to add equivalents for
-/// [`next_u32`] or [`next_u64`] since the latter methods are almost always used
-/// with algorithmic generators (PRNGs), which are normally infallible.
-///
-/// Algorithmic generators implementing [`SeedableRng`] should normally have
-/// *portable, reproducible* output, i.e. fix Endianness when converting values
-/// to avoid platform differences, and avoid making any changes which affect
-/// output (except by communicating that the release has breaking changes).
-///
-/// Typically implementators will implement only one of the methods available
-/// in this trait directly, then use the helper functions from the
-/// [`impls`] module to implement the other methods.
-///
-/// It is recommended that implementations also implement:
-///
-/// - `Debug` with a custom implementation which *does not* print any internal
-/// state (at least, [`CryptoRng`]s should not risk leaking state through
-/// `Debug`).
-/// - `Serialize` and `Deserialize` (from Serde), preferably making Serde
-/// support optional at the crate level in PRNG libs.
-/// - `Clone`, if possible.
-/// - *never* implement `Copy` (accidental copies may cause repeated values).
-/// - *do not* implement `Default` for pseudorandom generators, but instead
-/// implement [`SeedableRng`], to guide users towards proper seeding.
-/// External / hardware RNGs can choose to implement `Default`.
-/// - `Eq` and `PartialEq` could be implemented, but are probably not useful.
-///
-/// # Example
-///
-/// A simple example, obviously not generating very *random* output:
-///
-/// ```
-/// #![allow(dead_code)]
-/// use rand_core::{RngCore, Error, impls};
-///
-/// struct CountingRng(u64);
-///
-/// impl RngCore for CountingRng {
-/// fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32 {
-/// self.next_u64() as u32
-/// }
-///
-/// fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64 {
-/// self.0 += 1;
-/// self.0
-/// }
-///
-/// fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]) {
-/// impls::fill_bytes_via_next(self, dest)
-/// }
-///
-/// fn try_fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]) -> Result<(), Error> {
-/// Ok(self.fill_bytes(dest))

-/// A marker trait used to indicate that an [`RngCore`] or [`BlockRngCore`]
