These recipes show how to efficiently make random selections
from the combinatoric iterators in the :mod:`itertools` module:

The default :func:`.random` returns multiples of 2⁻⁵³ in the range
*0.0 ≤ x < 1.0*. All such numbers are evenly spaced and are exactly
representable as Python floats. However, many other representable
