Description

Xoshiro https://prng.di.unimi.it/ random number generation is typically faster than Mersenne Twister currently used in Ruby in https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/master/random.c It would be good to allow use of xoshiro either as an option or as default. Xoshiro is the default for Fortran https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/RANDOM_005fNUMBER.html and Julia https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/master/stdlib/Random/src Happy to implement this.
