# == \Random number formatter.
#
# Formats generated random numbers in many manners. When <tt>'random/formatter'</tt>
# is required, several methods are added to empty core module <tt>Random::Formatter</tt>,
# making them available as Random's instance and module methods.
#
# Standard library SecureRandom is also extended with the module, and the methods
# described below are available as a module methods in it.
#
# === Examples
#
# Generate random hexadecimal strings:
#
#   require 'random/formatter'
#
#   prng = Random.new
#   prng.hex(10) #=> "52750b30ffbc7de3b362"
#   prng.hex(10) #=> "92b15d6c8dc4beb5f559"
#   prng.hex(13) #=> "39b290146bea6ce975c37cfc23"
#   # or just
#   Random.hex #=> "1aed0c631e41be7f77365415541052ee"
#
# Generate random base64 strings:
#
#   prng.base64(10) #=> "EcmTPZwWRAozdA=="
#   prng.base64(10) #=> "KO1nIU+p9DKxGg=="
#   prng.base64(12) #=> "7kJSM/MzBJI+75j8"
#   Random.base64(4) #=> "bsQ3fQ=="
#
# Generate random binary strings:
#
#   prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\016\t{\370g\310pbr\301"
#   prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\323U\030TO\234\357\020\a\337"
#   Random.random_bytes(6) #=> "\xA1\xE6Lr\xC43"
#
# Generate alphanumeric strings:
#
#   prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "S8baxMJnPl"
#   prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "aOxAg8BAJe"
#   Random.alphanumeric #=> "TmP9OsJHJLtaZYhP"
#
# Generate UUIDs:
#
#   prng.uuid #=> "2d931510-d99f-494a-8c67-87feb05e1594"
#   prng.uuid #=> "bad85eb9-0713-4da7-8d36-07a8e4b00eab"
#   Random.uuid #=> "f14e0271-de96-45cc-8911-8910292a42cd"
#
# All methods are available in the standard library SecureRandom, too:
#
#   SecureRandom.hex #=> "05b45376a30c67238eb93b16499e50cf"

  # UUIDs can be used for better database index locality of newly inserted
  # records, which may have a significant performance benefit compared to random
  # data inserts.

  #
  # ==== Monotonicity
  #
  # UUIDv7 has millisecond precision by default, so multiple UUIDs created
  # within the same millisecond are not issued in monotonically increasing
  # order.  To create UUIDs that are time-ordered with sub-millisecond
  # precision, up to 12 bits of additional timestamp may added with
  # +extra_timestamp_bits+.  The extra timestamp precision comes at the expense
  # of random bits.  Setting <tt>extra_timestamp_bits: 12</tt> provides ~244ns
  # of precision, but only 62 random bits (7.75 random bytes).
  #
  #   prng = Random.new
  #   Array.new(4) { prng.uuid_v7(extra_timestamp_bits: 12) }
  #   # =>
  #   ["0188d4c7-13da-74f9-8b53-22a786ffdd5a",
  #    "0188d4c7-13da-753b-83a5-7fb9b2afaeea",
  #    "0188d4c7-13da-754a-88ea-ac0baeedd8db",
  #    "0188d4c7-13da-7557-83e1-7cad9cda0d8d"]
  #   # |<--- sorted --->| |<-- random --->|
  #
  #   Array.new(4) { prng.uuid_v7(extra_timestamp_bits: 8) }
  #   # =>
  #   ["0188d4c7-3333-7a95-850a-de6edb858f7e",
  #    "0188d4c7-3333-7ae8-842e-bc3a8b7d0cf9",  # <- out of order

  #
  # Any rollbacks of the system clock will break monotonicity.  UUIDv7 is based
  # on UTC, which excludes leap seconds and can rollback the clock.  To avoid
  # this, the system clock can synchronize with an NTP server configured to use
  # a "leap smear" approach.  NTP or PTP will also be needed to synchronize
  # across distributed nodes.
  #
  # Counters and other mechanisms for stronger guarantees of monotonicity are
  # not implemented.  Applications with stricter requirements should follow
  # {Section 6.2}[https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-uuidrev-rfc4122bis-07.html#monotonicity_counters]
