+// This header defines functions representing distributions, which you use in
+// combination with an Abseil random bit generator to produce random values
+// according to the rules of that distribution.
+//
+// The Abseil random library defines the following distributions within this
+// file:
+//
+// * `absl::Uniform` for uniform (constant) distributions having constant
+// probability
+// * `absl::Bernoulli` for discrete distributions having exactly two outcomes
+// * `absl::Beta` for continuous distributions parameterized through two
+// free parameters
+// * `absl::Exponential` for discrete distributions of events occurring
+// continuously and independently at a constant average rate
+// * `absl::Gaussian` (also known as "normal distributions") for continuous
+// distributions using an associated quadratic function
+// * `absl::LogUniform` for continuous uniform distributions where the log
+// to the given base of all values is uniform
+// * `absl::Poisson` for discrete probability distributions that express the
+// probability of a given number of events occurring within a fixed interval
+// * `absl::Zipf` for discrete probability distributions commonly used for
+// modelling of rare events
+//
+// Prefer use of these distribution function classes over manual construction of
+// your own distribution classes, as it allows library maintainers greater
+// flexibility to change the underlying implementation in the future.

+// absl::Uniform<T>(tag, bitgen, lo, hi)
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// `absl::Uniform()` produces random values of type `T` uniformly distributed in
+// a defined interval {lo, hi}. The interval `tag` defines the type of interval
+// which should be one of the following possible values:
+//
+// * `absl::IntervalOpenOpen`
+// * `absl::IntervalOpenClosed`
+// * `absl::IntervalClosedOpen`
+// * `absl::IntervalClosedClosed`
+//
+// where "open" refers to an exclusive value (excluded) from the output, while
+// "closed" refers to an inclusive value (included) from the output.
+//
+// In the absence of an explicit return type `T`, `absl::Uniform()` will deduce
+// the return type based on the provided endpoint arguments {A lo, B hi}.
+// Given these endpoints, one of {A, B} will be chosen as the return type, if
+// a type can be implicitly converted into the other in a lossless way. The
+// lack of any such implcit conversion between {A, B} will produce a
+// compile-time error
+//
+// See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_distribution_(continuous)
+//
+// Example:
+//
+// absl::BitGen bitgen;
+//
+// // Produce a random float value between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive
+// auto x = absl::Uniform(absl::IntervalClosedClosed, bitgen, 0.0f, 1.0f);
+//
+// // The most common interval of `absl::IntervalClosedOpen` is available by
+// // default:
+//
+// auto x = absl::Uniform(bitgen, 0.0f, 1.0f);
+//
+// // Return-types are typically inferred from the arguments, however callers
+// // can optionally provide an explicit return-type to the template.
+//
+// auto x = absl::Uniform<float>(bitgen, 0, 1);
