The Mersenne Twister is no longer regarded as quite state-of-the art
because it can get into states that produce long sequences that are
not very random.

There is a variation on MT called WELL that has better properties
in this regard. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to replace
MT with WELL as Python's default rng?
