/**
 * <p><code>JVMRandom</code> is a wrapper that supports all possible 
 * Random methods via the {@link java.lang.Math#random()} method
 * and its system-wide {@link Random} object.</p>
 * <p>
 * It does this to allow for a Random class in which the seed is
 * shared between all members of the class - a better name would
 * have been SharedSeedRandom.
 * <p>
 * <b>N.B.</b> the current implementation overrides the methods
 * {@link Random#nextInt(int)} and {@link Random#nextLong()}
 * to produce positive numbers ranging from 0 (inclusive)
 * to MAX_VALUE (exclusive).
