This has the potential to break abseil users. Instead we only forward declare `timeval` and require Windows users include `winsock2.h` themselves. This is both inconsistent and poor QoI, but so including 'windows.h' is bad too.

+// This header defines the recommended Uniform Random Bit Generator (URBG)
+// types for use within the Abseil Random library. These types are not
+// suitable for security-related use-cases, but should suffice for most other
+// uses of generating random values.
+//
+// The Abseil random library provides the following URBG types:
+//
+// * BitGen, a good general-purpose bit generator, optimized for generating
+// random (but not cryptographically secure) values
+// * InsecureBitGen, a slightly faster, though less random, bit generator, for
+// cases where the existing BitGen is a drag on performance.

+// absl::BitGen
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// `absl::BitGen` is a general-purpose random bit generator for generating
+// random values for use within the Abseil random library. Typically, you use a
+// bit generator in combination with a distribution to provide random values.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// // Create an absl::BitGen. There is no need to seed this bit generator.
+// absl::BitGen gen;
+//
+// // Generate an integer value in the closed interval [1,6]
+// int die_roll = absl::uniform_int_distribution<int>(1, 6)(gen);
+//
+// `absl::BitGen` is seeded by default with non-deterministic data to produce
+// different sequences of random values across different instances, including
+// different binary invocations. This behavior is different than the standard
+// library bit generators, which use golden values as their seeds. Default
+// construction intentionally provides no stability guarantees, to avoid
+// accidental dependence on such a property.
+//
+// `absl::BitGen` may be constructed with an optional seed sequence type,
+// conforming to [rand.req.seed_seq], which will be mixed with additional
+// non-deterministic data.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// // Create an absl::BitGen using an std::seed_seq seed sequence
+// std::seed_seq seq{1,2,3};
+// absl::BitGen gen_with_seed(seq);
+//
+// // Generate an integer value in the closed interval [1,6]
+// int die_roll2 = absl::uniform_int_distribution<int>(1, 6)(gen_with_seed);
+//
+// `absl::BitGen` meets the requirements of the Uniform Random Bit Generator
+// (URBG) concept as per the C++17 standard [rand.req.urng] though differs
+// slightly with [rand.req.eng]. Like its standard library equivalents (e.g.
+// `std::mersenne_twister_engine`) `absl::BitGen` is not cryptographically
+// secure.
+//
+// Constructing two `absl::BitGen`s with the same seed sequence in the same
+// binary will produce the same sequence of variates within the same binary, but
+// need not do so across multiple binary invocations.
+//
+// This type has been optimized to perform better than Mersenne Twister
+// (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister) and many other complex URBG
+// types on modern x86, ARM, and PPC architectures.
+//
+// This type is thread-compatible, but not thread-safe.

+// absl::InsecureBitGen
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// `absl::InsecureBitGen` is an efficient random bit generator for generating
+// random values, recommended only for performance-sensitive use cases where
+// `absl::BitGen` is not satisfactory when compute-bounded by bit generation
+// costs.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// // Create an absl::InsecureBitGen
+// absl::InsecureBitGen gen;
+// for (size_t i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
+//
+// // Generate a bunch of random values from some complex distribution
+// auto my_rnd = some_distribution(gen, 1, 1000);
+// }
+//
+// Like `absl::BitGen`, `absl::InsecureBitGen` is seeded by default with
+// non-deterministic data to produce different sequences of random values across
+// different instances, including different binary invocations. (This behavior
+// is different than the standard library bit generators, which use golden
+// values as their seeds.)
+//
+// `absl::InsecureBitGen` may be constructed with an optional seed sequence

+// library equivalents (e.g. `std::mersenne_twister_engine`)
+// `absl::InsecureBitGen` is not cryptographically secure.

+// Prefer `absl::BitGen` over `absl::InsecureBitGen` as the general type is
+// often fast enough for the vast majority of applications.
