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 floats in that interval
are not possible selections. For example, ``0.05954861408025609``
isn't an integer multiple of 2⁻⁵³.
representable as Python floats. However, many other representable
floats in that interval are not possible selections. For example,
``0.05954861408025609`` isn't an integer multiple of 2⁻⁵³.
The following recipe takes a different approach. All floats in the
interval are possible selections. The mantissa comes from a uniform
