//!\attention sobol_engine skips trivial zeroes at the start of the sequence. For example, the beginning

//!0.5, 0.5,
//!0.75, 0.25,

//!0.375, 0.375,

//!In the following documentation @c X denotes the concrete class of the template
//!sobol_engine returning objects of type @c UIntType, u and v are the values of @c X.
//!
//!Some member functions may throw exceptions of type @c std::range_error. This
//!happens when the quasi-random domain is exhausted and the generator cannot produce
//!any more values. The length of the low discrepancy sequence is given by \f$L=Dimension \times (2^{w} - 1)\f$.
