// MAIN //

/**
* Returns a function for creating readable streams which generate pseudorandom numbers via a linear congruential pseudorandom number generator (LCG) based on Park and Miller.
*
* @param {Options} [options] - stream options
* @param {boolean} [options.objectMode=false] - specifies whether a stream should operate in object mode
* @param {(string|null)} [options.encoding=null] - specifies how `Buffer` objects should be decoded to `strings`
* @param {NonNegativeNumber} [options.highWaterMark] - specifies the maximum number of bytes to store in an internal buffer before ceasing to generate additional pseudorandom numbers
* @param {string} [options.sep='\n'] - separator used to join streamed data
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} [options.iter] - number of iterations
* @param {boolean} [options.normalized=false] - boolean indicating whether to return pseudorandom numbers on the interval `[0,1)`
* @param {PRNGSeedMINSTD} [options.seed] - pseudorandom number generator seed
* @param {PRNGStateMINSTD} [options.state] - pseudorandom number generator state
* @param {boolean} [options.copy=true] - boolean indicating whether to copy a provided pseudorandom number generator state
* @param {PositiveInteger} [options.siter] - number of iterations after which to emit the PRNG state
* @throws {TypeError} options argument must be an object
* @returns {Function} stream factory
*
* @example
* var opts = {
*     'sep': ',',
*     'objectMode': false,
*     'encoding': 'utf8',
*     'highWaterMark': 64
* };
*
* var createStream = factory( opts );
*
* // Create 10 identically configured streams...
* var streams = [];
* var i;
* for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
*     streams.push( createStream() );
* }
