+// This header contains utilities for creating and working with seed sequences
+// conforming to [rand.req.seedseq]. In general, direct construction of seed
+// sequences is discouraged, but use-cases for construction of identical bit
+// generators (using the same seed sequence) may be helpful (e.g. replaying a
+// simulation whose state is derived from variates of a bit generator).

+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// `absl::SeedSeq` constructs a seed sequence according to [rand.req.seedseq]
+// for use within bit generators. `absl::SeedSeq`, unlike `std::seed_seq`
+// additionally salts the generated seeds with extra implementation-defined
+// entropy. For that reason, you can use `absl::SeedSeq` in combination with
+// standard library bit generators (e.g. `std::mt19937`) to introduce
+// non-determinism in your seeds.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   absl::SeedSeq my_seed_seq({a, b, c});
+//   std::mt19937 my_bitgen(my_seed_seq);
+//
+using SeedSeq = random_internal::SaltedSeedSeq<std::seed_seq>;

+// absl::CreateSeedSeqFrom(bitgen*)
+// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+//
+// Constructs a seed sequence conforming to [rand.req.seedseq] using variates
+// produced by a provided bit generator.
+//
+// You should generally avoid direct construction of seed sequences, but
+// use-cases for reuse of a seed sequence to construct identical bit generators
+// may be helpful (eg. replaying a simulation whose state is derived from bit
+// generator values).
+//
+// If bitgen == nullptr, then behavior is undefined.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//   absl::BitGen my_bitgen;
+//   auto seed_seq = absl::CreateSeedSeqFrom(&my_bitgen);
+//   absl::BitGen new_engine(seed_seq); // derived from my_bitgen, but not
+//                                      // correlated.
