+// This header defines an exception class which may be thrown if unpredictable
+// events prevent the derivation of suitable seed-material for constructing a
+// bit generator conforming to [rand.req.urng] (eg. entropy cannot be read from
+// /dev/urandom on a Unix-based system).
+//
+// Note: if exceptions are disabled, `std::terminate()` is called instead.
