uses modulus 2^30. Therefore there are only 2^30
distinct numbers, which is confirmed by my previous test in R.
If someday Knuth's double version is also included in R, it will be great.

Professor Ripley,
Thank you for your solution. So the last paragraph of the Note in RNG
help page will be updated since Wichmann-Hill is different from other
supplied uniform generators in the number of distinct values?

Unfortunately, RNGkind is buggy. It will not generate warnings
except the full name "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is supplied for normal.kind.
match.arg is supposed to be called before "==" comparison.
