[Numpy-discussion] Low-level API for Random

[Neal Becker]

I'm using the low-level generator.  In this example I need to generate
small random integers of defined bit widths (e.g., 2 bit).  So
I get 64-bit uniform random uintegers, and cache the values, returning
them n-bits (e.g. 2 bits) at a time to the caller.
