// Class defining methods for shooting gamma distributed random values,
// given a k (default=1) and specifying also a lambda (default=1).
// Default values are used for operator()().

// Valid input values are k > 0 and lambda > 0.  When invalid values are
// presented, the code silently returns -1.0.
