 * Implementation notes: randomInteger
 * -----------------------------------
 * The code for randomInteger produces the number in four steps:
 *
 * 1. Generate a random real number d in the range [0 .. 1).
 * 2. Scale the number to the range [0 .. N) where N is the number of values.
 * 3. Translate the number so that the range starts at the appropriate value.
 * 4. Convert the result to the next lower integer.
 *
 * The implementation is complicated by the fact that both the expression
 *
 *     RAND_MAX + 1
 *
 * and the expression for the number of values
 *
 *     high - low + 1
 *
 * can overflow the integer range.  These calculations must therefore be
 * performed using doubles instead of ints.
