Yes, certainly.
I've sent Fergus a copy of MT19937, the "Mersenne Twister" of Matsumoto
& Nishimura, described in ACM Tr.MCS Jan 1998. It looks pretty good.
However, the code is in C.
It would actually be useful to have several pseudo-random generators in
the Mercury library; switching from one to another _may_ reveal a flaw.
