    /*! Polar transformation based Student T random number generator.
        See "Polar Generation of Random Variates With the t-Distribution",
        Ralph W. Bailey, April 1994, in Mathematics of Computation, Vol 62-206
        page 779.
        The one implemented here is a variant of this algorithm from "Random 
        Number Generation and Monte Carlo Methods", Springer, 2003, page 185. 
        Using a uniform RNG on a [-1,1] support, the extra call to the uniform
        generator (used for the sign of the sample) is avoided.

        Class RNG must implement the following interface:
        \code
            URNG::sample_type RNG::next() const;
        \endcode

        \warning do not use with a low-discrepancy sequence generator.
