I think yes, this should be a slam-dunk.

Would it make sense to say that it's implementation-defined whether
extended integer types are supported (by each template in [rand], that
is), rather jumping straight into UB? Aim is to reduce the surface of
gratuitous UB (UB that may just work™ on certain implementations so why
not make it official.)

Thank you,
