// absl::zipf_distribution produces random integer-values in the range [0, k],
// distributed according to the unnormalized discrete probability function:
//
//  P(x) = (v + x) ^ -q
//
// The parameter `v` must be greater than 0 and the parameter `q` must be
// greater than 1. If either of these parameters take invalid values then the
// behavior is undefined.
//
// IntType is the result_type generated by the generator. It must be of integral
// type; a static_assert ensures this is the case.
//
// The implementation is based on W.Hormann, G.Derflinger:
//
// "Rejection-Inversion to Generate Variates from Monotone Discrete
// Distributions"
//
