+//! A simple pseudo random number generator that allows a stream of random numbers to be efficiently
+//! created from a single initial seed hash.
+
+use codec::{Encode, Decode};
+use crate::traits::{Hash, TrailingZeroInput};
+
+/// Pseudo-random number streamer. This retains the state of the random number stream. It's as
+/// secure as the combination of the seed with which it is constructed and the hash function it uses
+/// to cycle elements.
+///
+/// It can be saved and later reloaded using the Codec traits.
+///
+/// Example:
+/// ```
+/// use sp_runtime::traits::{Hash, BlakeTwo256};
+/// use sp_runtime::RandomNumberGenerator;
+/// let random_seed = BlakeTwo256::hash(b"Sixty-nine");
+/// let mut rng = <RandomNumberGenerator<BlakeTwo256>>::new(random_seed);
+/// assert_eq!(rng.pick_u32(100), 59);
+/// assert_eq!(rng.pick_item(&[1, 2, 3]), Some(&1));
+/// ```
+///
+/// This can use any cryptographic `Hash` function as the means of entropy-extension, and avoids
+/// needless extensions of entropy.
+///
+/// If you're persisting it over blocks, be aware that the sequence will start to repeat. This won't
+/// be a practical issue unless you're using tiny hash types (e.g. 64-bit) and pulling hundred of
+/// megabytes of data from it.
