 * For parameter my < 10, Tabulated Inversion is applied.         *
 * For my >= 10, Patchwork Rejection is employed:                 *

 * its body by certain point reflections. Within a large center   *
 * interval variates are sampled efficiently by rejection from    *
 * uniform hats. Rectangular immediate acceptance regions speed   *
 * up the generation. The remaining tails are covered by          *
 * exponential functions.                                         *
