// Creates a double from `bits`, with the template fields controlling the

//
// RandU64To is both more efficient and generates more unique values in the
// result interval than known implementations of std::generate_canonical().
//
// The `Signed` parameter controls whether positive, negative, or both are
// returned (thus affecting the output interval).
//   When Signed == SignedValueT, range is U(-1, 1)
//   When Signed == NegativeValueT, range is U(-1, 0)
//   When Signed == PositiveValueT, range is U(0, 1)
//
// When the `IncludeZero` parameter is true, the function may return 0 for some
// inputs, otherwise it never returns 0.
//
// The `ExponentBias` parameter determines the scale of the output range by
// adjusting the exponent.
//
// When a value in U(0,1) is required, use:
//   RandU64ToDouble<PositiveValueT, true, 0>();
//
// When a value in U(-1,1) is required, use:
//   RandU64ToDouble<SignedValueT, false, 0>() => U(-1, 1)
// This generates more distinct values than the mathematically equivalent
// expression `U(0, 1) * 2.0 - 1.0`, and is preferable.
//
// Scaling the result by powers of 2 (and avoiding a multiply) is also possible:
//   RandU64ToDouble<PositiveValueT, false, 1>();  => U(0, 2)
//   RandU64ToDouble<PositiveValueT, false, -1>();  => U(0, 0.5)
