// absl::poisson_distribution:
// Generates discrete variates conforming to a Poisson distribution.
//   p(n) = (mean^n / n!) exp(-mean)
//
// Depending on the parameter, the distribution selects one of the following
// algorithms:
// * The standard algorithm, attributed to Knuth, extended using a split method
// for larger values
// * The "Ratio of Uniforms as a convenient method for sampling from classical
// discrete distributions", Stadlober, 1989.
// http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0377042790903495
//
// NOTE: param_type.mean() is a double, which permits values larger than
// poisson_distribution<IntType>::max(), however this should be avoided and
// the distribution results are limited to the max() value.
//
// The goals of this implementation are to provide good performance while still
// beig thread-safe: This limits the implementation to not using lgamma provided
// by <math.h>.
