 * Instantiations of class template @c inversive_congruential_engine model a

 *
 * The output sequence is defined by x(n+1) = (a*inv(x(n)) - b) (mod p),
 * where x(0), a, b, and the prime number p are parameters of the generator.
 * The expression inv(k) denotes the multiplicative inverse of k in the
 * field of integer numbers modulo p, with inv(0) := 0.
 *
 * The template parameter IntType shall denote a signed integral type large
 * enough to hold p; a, b, and p are the parameters of the generators. The
 * template parameter val is the validation value checked by validation.
 *
 * @xmlnote
 * The implementation currently uses the Euclidian Algorithm to compute
 * the multiplicative inverse. Therefore, the inversive generators are about
 * 10-20 times slower than the others (see section"performance"). However,
 * the paper talks of only 3x slowdown, so the Euclidian Algorithm is probably
 * not optimal for calculating the multiplicative inverse.
