// The algorithm for this random engine has been taken from the notes of 
// a double-precision ranlux implementation by Martin Luscher, dated 
// November 1997.
//
// Like the previous ranlux generator, this one also has "luxury" levels,
// determining how many pseudo-random numbers are discarded for every 
// twelve values used. Three levels are given, with the note that Luscher
// himself advocates only the highest two levels for this engine.
//  level 0  (p=109):              Throw away 109 values for every 12 used
//  level 1  (p=202):   (default)  Throw away 202 values for every 12 used
//  level 2  (p=397):              Throw away 397 values for every 12 used
//
// The initialization is carried out using a Multiplicative Congruential
// generator using formula constants of L'Ecuyer as described in "F.James,
// Comp. Phys. Comm. 60 (1990) 329-344".
// =======================================================================
// Ken Smith      - Created Initial draft: 14th Jul 1998
//                - Added conversion operators:  6th Aug 1998
// Mark Fischler
// 9/9/98     - Added update() routine to allow computation of many at once
//        - Replaced algorithm with jone exactly matching Luscher:
//          48-bits generated
//          skip n-12 instead of n numbers
//        - Corrected protection agains overflow
// 12/8/04        - Methods for instance save/restore     
// 12/27/04       - methods for anonymous save/restore 12/27/04
