    +    * x86 and sparc have replaced the MT19937 RNG with xoroshiro128+ RNG.
    
    25
    +      * The required state for this generator is just 4 32-bit words instead of the 600+ for MT19937.
    
    26
    +      * The generator is also faster than MT19937 (approximately 28% faster on x86 and 18% on sparc).
    
    27
    +      * The new function `KERNEL:RANDOM-STATE-JUMP` modifies the given state to jump 2^64 samples ahead, allowing 2^64 non-overlapping sequences.
