1//! [PRNG] utilities for tower middleware.
2//!
3//! This module provides a generic [`Rng`] trait and a [`HasherRng`] that
4//! implements the trait based on [`RandomState`] or any other [`Hasher`].
5//!
6//! These utilities replace tower's internal usage of `rand` with these smaller,
7//! more lightweight methods. Most of the implementations are extracted from
8//! their corresponding `rand` implementations.
