You could mention more than one member from the family, though probably we don't want everything in one list (like we only selected a couple of PCG variants). |

Which ones are worth mentioning? Xoshiro256+ is a bit faster with slightly worse statistical properties, well suited for generating floats. Then there are smaller 64-bit generators (xoroshiro128**), and 32-bit generators (xoshiro128** etc.). |

Okay, I guess one representative is sufficient. |

I could add xoshiro256+ to the list, because it is 15% faster but has slightly lower statistical quality, so it is maybe an interesting trade-off. But to be honest, I think the differences might be too small to warrant adding or removing stars in performance and quality. |
