/// A wrapper around any PRNG that implements [`BlockRngCore`], that adds the
/// ability to reseed it.
///
/// `ReseedingRng` reseeds the underlying PRNG in the following cases:
///
/// - On a manual call to [`reseed()`].
/// - After `clone()`, the clone will be reseeded on first use.
/// - After the PRNG has generated a configurable number of random bytes.
///
/// # When should reseeding after a fixed number of generated bytes be used?
///
/// Reseeding after a fixed number of generated bytes is never strictly
/// *necessary*. Cryptographic PRNGs don't have a limited number of bytes they
/// can output, or at least not a limit reachable in any practical way. There is
/// no such thing as 'running out of entropy'.
///
/// Occasionally reseeding can be seen as some form of 'security in depth'. Even
/// if in the future a cryptographic weakness is found in the CSPRNG being used,
/// or a flaw in the implementation, occasionally reseeding should make
/// exploiting it much more difficult or even impossible.
///
/// Use [`ReseedingRng::new`] with a `threshold` of `0` to disable reseeding
/// after a fixed number of generated bytes.
///
/// # Error handling
///
/// Errors during reseeding are extremely unlikely, assuming the same random
/// source successfully initialized the inner PRNG. A reseeding failure will be
/// reported via panic (new behaviour since v0.9.3).
///
/// Manually calling [`reseed()`] will report errors.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use rand::prelude::*;
/// use rand_chacha::ChaCha20Core; // Internal part of ChaChaRng that
///                              // implements BlockRngCore
/// use rand::rngs::OsRng;
/// use rand::rngs::ReseedingRng;
///
/// let mut reseeding_rng = ReseedingRng::<ChaCha20Core, _>::new(0, OsRng).unwrap();
///
/// println!("{}", reseeding_rng.random::<u64>());
///
/// let mut cloned_rng = reseeding_rng.clone();
/// assert!(reseeding_rng.random::<u64>() != cloned_rng.random::<u64>());
/// ```
