I was a bit confused by the docs: In a multi-threaded program, you should generally use different RNG objects from different threads or tasks in order to be thread-safe. However, the default RNG is thread-safe as of Julia 1.3 (using a per-thread RNG up to version 1.6, and per-task thereafter). T…

Why is `TaskLocalRNG` faster than `Xoshiro` with multiple threads?
