Yes, I need to add some checks. Currently, there aren't any :D

By functionality, do you mean just the API or also the implementation? I assume my Ziggurat algorithm implementation isn't easy to understand without some kind of description. I'll need to write a ton of comments in there.

A bit of both, but mainly the API.  I'm interested in how obvious it is how to _use_ it rather than how obvious the internals are (which is rare for any case, let alone something like Ziggurat).
