/// Types (distributions) that can be used to create a random instance of `T`.
///
/// It is possible to sample from a distribution through both the
/// `Distribution` and [`Rng`] traits, via `distr.sample(&mut rng)` and
/// `rng.sample(distr)`. They also both offer the [`sample_iter`] method, which
/// produces an iterator that samples from the distribution.
///
/// All implementations are expected to be immutable; this has the significant
/// advantage of not needing to consider thread safety, and for most
/// distributions efficient state-less sampling algorithms are available.
///
/// Implementations are typically expected to be portable with reproducible
/// results when used with a PRNG with fixed seed; see the
/// [portability chapter](https://rust-random.github.io/book/portability.html)
/// of The Rust Rand Book. In some cases this does not apply, e.g. the `usize`
/// type requires different sampling on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

    /// Note that this function takes `self` by value. This works since
    /// `Distribution<T>` is impl'd for `&D` where `D: Distribution<T>`,
    /// however borrowing is not automatic hence `distr.sample_iter(...)` may
