"...I see many reasons this should be on GitHub, and no reason this should be in the Standard Library...."

Probably the best manager I ever have met had a saying: "Don't go reasonable on me!". True that.

Even better: Get the source code of `stable_uniform_int_distribution` from a third-party GitHub repository, where if you ever do discover that the behavior differs across platforms, you can just file a bug and it's clearly on them to fix it. If you rely on the Standard Library for this stuff, then you have nowhere (or rather, five or six places) to file bug reports when it doesn't work.

I see many reasons this should be on GitHub, and no reason this should be in the Standard Library. (At least not for the computationally difficult distributions with floating-point dependencies, like `normal_distribution`. For `uniform_int_distribution` specifically, the Standard probably should just mandate the algorithm, because it's relatively trivial.)
