I really don't see anywhere I can do this -- every function is either inherently 
impure (it calls random number generation), calls an impure function, or relies 
on data external to itself (though not external to the struct).

Re the _variables, I just copied the convention already present in std.random, 
which I presumed was how it was supposed to be done ... :-)
