/**
 * This function provides a low-overhead shuffling effect without loading
 * elements into memory. It uses a bundled dataset of pre-computed
 * Galois LFSR shift register configurations, along with a down-sampling
 * method to provide amortized virtual shuffling with minimal memory usage.
 *
 * Essentially, this guarantees that every value in the specified range will
 * be seen at least once before the cycle repeats. However, since the order
 * of traversal of these values is dependent on the LFSR configuration, some
 * orders will appear much more random than others depending on where you
 * are in the traversal cycle.
 *
 * This function *does* yield values that are deterministic.
