Note that besides the case of the linear_congruential (where we could
definitely static_assert, I don't consider such uses really important in
practice, given also that generators much better from the statistical point of
view are highly recommended (for example the last Numeric Recipes recommends
avoiding linear congruential and doesn't provide anymore code for it), we have
also to resolve the problem with the implementation of generate, where an
algorithm is described in detail involving multiplications and currently we
also use __mod for unsafe arguments.
