//! Helper functions for implementing `RngCore` functions.
//!
//! For cross-platform reproducibility, these functions all use Little Endian:
//! least-significant part first. For example, `next_u64_via_u32` takes `u32`
//! values `x, y`, then outputs `(y << 32) | x`. To implement `next_u32`
//! from `next_u64` in little-endian order, one should use `next_u64() as u32`.
//!
//! Byte-swapping (like the std `to_le` functions) is only needed to convert
//! to/from byte sequences, and since its purpose is reproducibility,
//! non-reproducible sources (e.g. `OsRng`) need not bother with it.
