Description: The Ziggurat generator for normally distributed random
        numbers, originally proposed by Marsaglia and Tsang (2000,
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v005.i08>) has been improved upon a few times
        starting with Leong et al (2005, <doi:10.18637/jss.v012.i07>).
        This package provides an aggregation in order to compare
        different implementations in order to provide a 'faster but
        good enough' alternative for use with R and C++ code. See the
        'zigg' package for a lighter implementation for much easier use
        in other packages.
