 	// NOTE: we could alternatively use the PRNG factory function to create a nullary PRNG function which applies parameters for each invocation; however, this would impose a one-time cost which is likely to be rather expensive when filling small arrays. The decision made here avoids this cost, despite a small cost due to repeatedly validating parameters for each generated pseudorandom value. Additionally, the current implementation has the added benefit that it mirrors the underlying PRNG where invalid parameters result in, e.g., a return value of `NaN` (however, realization of this benefit depends on the output array being a floating-point array).
