The RNG appears to have a period on the order of 8-15 draws.

This could be improved by focusing on the least significant bits of the RNG result before converting to a float and handing it out. I'd hope it to be an easy fix.

This is addressed in [f/version0-1-1 804569a] which may or may not already be pushed. The full fix will release in 0.1.1

Testing shows that this was, indeed, largely fixed in commit 804569a. The period is now higher than I can be bothered to count and is "casually sufficient".

Now watch a speedrunner come along and decide they want to find an RNG manip. in PETI just for kicks.
