+//   p(n) = (mean^n / n!) exp(-mean)
+//
+// Depending on the parameter, the distribution selects one of the following

+// * The standard algorithm, attributed to Knuth, extended using a split method
+// for larger values
+// * The "Ratio of Uniforms as a convenient method for sampling from classical
+// discrete distributions", Stadlober, 1989.
+// http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0377042790903495
+//
+// NOTE: param_type.mean() is a double, which permits values larger than
+// poisson_distribution<IntType>::max(), however this should be avoided and
+// the distribution results are limited to the max() value.
+//
+// The goals of this implementation are to provide good performance while still
+// beig thread-safe: This limits the implementation to not using lgamma provided
+// by <math.h>.
