The purpose of this PR is to introduce a combinator-based module for generating random values of compound types.
Because of restrictions related to size types, when generating things that involve arrays, you need to split the generation into two parts: generating the sizes, and then generating the values of that size. This can be seen in how the
arrgenerator accepts a specific size.The actual random number generation piggybacks on the existing generators for primitives.
Here is an example of how to use it to define a generator for random matrices:
This generator produces random matrices of size up to
size. It's easy enough to make it generate random matrices of exactlysize, of course.
