/// normally satisfy it, but rounding may mean `high` can occur.

///
/// ```rust
/// use rand::distributions::{IndependentSample, Range};
///
/// fn main() {
///     let between = Range::new(10, 10000);
///     let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
///     let mut sum = 0;
///     for _ in 0..1000 {
///         sum += between.ind_sample(&mut rng);
///     }
