/**
 * Through analysis, we have decided that we want to take values which
 * are close enough to 1.0 to map back to 0.0.  We came to this
 * conclusion from noting that:
 *
 * [0.0, 1.0)
 *
 * when scaled to the integer set:
 *
 * [0, 4)
 *
 * there is some value close enough to 1.0 that when multiplying by 4,
 * gets truncated to 4. Therefore:
 *
 * [0,1-eps] => 0
 * [1,2-eps] => 1
 * [2,3-eps] => 2
 * [3,4-eps] => 3
 *
 * So 0 gets uneven distribution if we simply clamp. The actual
 * clamp utilized in this file is to map values out of range back
 * to 0 to restore uniform distribution.
 *
 * Also, for clamping floats when asking for a distribution from
 * [0.0,g) we have determined that for values of g < 0.5, then
 * rand*g=g, which is not the desired result. As above, we clamp to 0
 * to restore uniform distribution.
