------------------------------+----------------------------------
 We need a function that returns 1.0 or -1.0 with equal probability, so we
 can avoid weird tricks that waste floating point precision.

 Since we want to use this in the laplace and guassian distributions, it
 needs to be implemented in both C and Rust.
