     12 * We're going to check that random number generation is sane on a basic
     13 * level - That is, we want to check that the function returns success
     14 * and doesn't just keep returning the same number.
     15 *
     16 * Note that there are many more tests that could be done, but to really test
     17 * a PRNG we'd probably need to generate a large set of randoms and
     18 * perform statistical analysis on them. Maybe that's worth doing eventually?
     19 *
     20 * For now we should be fine just performing a dumb test of generating 5
     21 * numbers and making sure they're all unique. In theory, it is possible for
     22 * this test to report a false negative, but with 5 numbers the probability
     23 * is less than one-in-a-trillion.
