Random: adaptor for the implementation core #19605

Open vasslitvinov opened 2 years ago

vasslitvinov commented 2 years ago

Can we implement the core functionality of PCGRandomStream in a way that is independent of eltType?

This way we can reduce the amount of code duplication that results from instantiating PCGRandomStream for each eltType.

eltType-specific functionality would come from an adaptor/wrapper.
