/**
 * This class provides a thread-local {@link UniformRandomProvider}.
 *
 * The {@link UniformRandomProvider} is created once-per-thread using the default
 * construction method {@link RandomSource#create()}.
 *
 * 
Example:
 * 
 * import org.apache.commons.rng.simple.RandomSource;
 * import org.apache.commons.rng.simple.ThreadLocalRandomSource;
 * import org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.PoissonSampler;
 *
 * // Access a thread-safe random number generator
 * UniformRandomProvider rng = ThreadLocalRandomSource.current(RandomSource.SPLIT_MIX_64);
 *
 * // One-time Poisson sample
 * double mean = 12.3;
 * int counts = PoissonSampler.of(rng, mean).sample();
 * 
 *
 * Note if the {@link RandomSource} requires additional arguments then it is not
 * supported. The same can be achieved using:
 *
 * 
 * import org.apache.commons.rng.simple.RandomSource;
 * import org.apache.commons.rng.sampling.distribution.PoissonSampler;
 *
 * // Provide a thread-safe random number generator with data arguments
 * private static ThreadLocal<UniformRandomProvider> rng =
 *     new ThreadLocal<UniformRandomProvider>() {
 *         @Override
 *         protected UniformRandomProvider initialValue() {
 *             return RandomSource.TWO_CMRES_SELECT.create(null, 3, 4);
 *         }
 *     };
 *
 * // One-time Poisson sample using a thread-safe random number generator
 * double mean = 12.3;
 * int counts = PoissonSampler.of(rng.get(), mean).sample();
 * 
 *
 * @since 1.3
