Haskell bindings to the PCG random number generator http://www.pcg-random.org.

> PCG is a family of simple fast space-efficient statistically good algorithms for random number generation. Unlike many general-purpose RNGs, they are also hard to predict.

Implements the standard multiple stream generator as well as the fast, single and unique variants.

The api is very similar to [mwc-random] but the pcg generator appears to be slightly faster. There is also a pure interface via the [random] libray.
