hap.random: a new random number library for D

[Joseph Rushton Wakeling via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Hello all,

Some of you may remember my earlier draft of a class-based 
std.random successor:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/cyytvhixkqlbwkmiugex@forum.dlang.org

Following revisions made in response to feedback, and some 
further development, I decided that it would be best to release 
the results as a dub package with a new library name:
http://code.dlang.org/packages/hap

Source code and documentation is available here:
https://github.com/WebDrake/hap
http://code.braingam.es/hap/random/

I've also written a blog post describing new features and the 
motivations behind this library:
http://braingam.es/2014/06/hap-random-a-new-random-number-library-for-d/

I think that hap.random fixes certain fundamental design issues 
with std.random.  However, this needs to be put to the test "in 
the wild", so I'd really appreciate it if as many people as 
possible could try it out with their code, and report on the 
experience:

    * Does it run faster, slower, etc?

    * Do any undesirable memory allocation issues arise?

    * Is the API (broadly similar but not identical to std.random)
      pleasant to use?

If it proves to be effective for everyone, then I will begin the 
process of submission as a new Phobos module.

Thanks in advance for all testing and feedback.

Best wishes,
