\class TRandom2
 
Random number generator class based on the maximally quidistributed combined
Tausworthe generator by L'Ecuyer.
 
The period of the generator is 2**88 (about 10**26) and it uses only 3 words
for the state.
 
For more information see:
P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 65, 213 (1996)
P. L'Ecuyer, Mathematics of Computation, 68, 225 (1999)
