       This is an abstract base class.

       In the future it will be a role.

get$n,%args
       Gets $n random bytes and returns them as a string.

       This method may produce fatal errors if the source was unable to provide enough data.

   read$buf,$n,[$off]
       This method is cannibalized from IO::Scalar. It provides an IO::Handle work-alike.

       Note that subclasses override this to operate on a real handle directly if available.

   seed@stuff
       On supporting sources this method will add @stuff, whatever it may be, to the random seed.

       Some sources may not support this, so be careful.

   available
       This is a class method, such that when it returns true calling "new" without arguments on the class
       should provide a working source of random data.

       This is use by Crypt::Random::Source::Factory.

   rank
       This is a class method, with some futz value for a ranking, to help known good sources be tried before
       known bad (slower, less available) sources.

   get_data%Params
       Provided for compatibility with Crypt::Random
