    120 		 * largest multiple that fits in 32 bits, so rejections are as
    121 		 * rare as possible.
    122 		 *
    123 		 * There are `limit` possible values for the integer part of
    124 		 * our fixed-point number. Each one corresponds to `N/limit`
    125 		 * or `N/limit + 1` possible fraction parts. For our result to
    126 		 * be unbiased, every possible integer part must have the same
    127 		 * number of possible valid fraction parts. So, when we get
    128 		 * the superfluous value in the `N/limit + 1` cases, we need
    129 		 * to reject and resample.
    130 		 *
    131 		 * Because of the multiplication, the possible values in the
    132 		 * fraction part are equally spaced by `limit`, with varying
    133 		 * gaps at each end of the fraction's 32-bit range. We will
    134 		 * choose a range of size `N` (a multiple of `limit`) into
    135 		 * which valid fraction values must fall, with the rest of the
    136 		 * 32-bit range covered by the `residue`. Lemire's paper says
    137 		 * that exactly `N/limit` possible values spaced apart by
    138 		 * `limit` will fit into our size `N` valid range, regardless
    139 		 * of the size of the end gaps, the phase alignment of the
    140 		 * values, or the position of the range.
    141 		 *
    142 		 * So, when a fraction value falls in the `residue` outside
    143 		 * our valid range, it is superfluous, and we resample.
