# == \Random number formatter.
#
# Formats generated random numbers in many manners. When <tt>'random/formatter'</tt>
# is required, several methods are added to empty core module <tt>Random::Formatter</tt>,
# making them available as Random's instance and module methods.
#
# Standard library SecureRandom is also extended with the module, and the methods
# described below are available as a module methods in it.
#
# === Examples
#
# Generate random hexadecimal strings:
#
#   require 'random/formatter'
#
#   prng = Random.new
#   prng.hex(10) #=> "52750b30ffbc7de3b362"
#   prng.hex(10) #=> "92b15d6c8dc4beb5f559"
#   prng.hex(13) #=> "39b290146bea6ce975c37cfc23"
#   # or just
#   Random.hex #=> "1aed0c631e41be7f77365415541052ee"
#
# Generate random base64 strings:
#
#   prng.base64(10) #=> "EcmTPZwWRAozdA=="
#   prng.base64(10) #=> "KO1nIU+p9DKxGg=="
#   prng.base64(12) #=> "7kJSM/MzBJI+75j8"
#   Random.base64(4) #=> "bsQ3fQ=="
#
# Generate random binary strings:
#
#   prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\016\t{\370g\310pbr\301"
#   prng.random_bytes(10) #=> "\323U\030TO\234\357\020\a\337"
#   Random.random_bytes(6) #=> "\xA1\xE6Lr\xC43"
#
# Generate alphanumeric strings:
#
#   prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "S8baxMJnPl"
#   prng.alphanumeric(10) #=> "aOxAg8BAJe"
#   Random.alphanumeric #=> "TmP9OsJHJLtaZYhP"
#
# Generate UUIDs:
#
#   prng.uuid #=> "2d931510-d99f-494a-8c67-87feb05e1594"
#   prng.uuid #=> "bad85eb9-0713-4da7-8d36-07a8e4b00eab"
#   Random.uuid #=> "f14e0271-de96-45cc-8911-8910292a42cd"
#
# All methods are available in the standard library SecureRandom, too:
#
#   SecureRandom.hex #=> "05b45376a30c67238eb93b16499e50cf"
