+
+/*
+The cFastRandom aims to provide a very fast, although not very cryptographically secure, random generator.
+It is fast to instantiate, fast to query next, and partially multi-thread-safe.
+It is multi-thread-safe in the sense that it can be accessed from multiple threads without crashing, but it may
+yield duplicate numbers in that case.
+
+Internally, this works similar to cNoise's integral noise generation, with some predefined inputs: the seed is
+taken from a global counter and the random is calculated using a counter that is incremented on each use (hence
+the multi-thread duplication). Two alternatives exists for each function, one that takes a range parameter,
+and another that takes an additional "salt" parameter; this salt is used as an additional input to the random,
+in order to avoid multi-thread duplication. If two threads both use the class at the same time with different
+salts, the values they get will be different.
