Naming convention

Not really an issue, just a suggestion (Or a bikeshedding, sorry).
Mt19937GenRand32
and Mt19937GenRand64
are too long, I agree. But Mt
and Mt64
are somewhat non-conventional. Maybe it would be better to pick names like Mt19937b32
and Mt19937b64
?

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately I do think this is a bit of bikeshedding and I’m not interested in changing the type aliases.
I’m not sure how “unconventional” these names are. Stata refers to MT19937_64 as MT64. PHP prefixes all of its MT19337 functions with mt_
.
If you prefer these type names, I suggest you define the aliases in your crate.
