> For verification testing, it is often critical to generate "interesting" values, to provoke overflows, NaN, etc. And to generate these values in the correct distribution to trigger certain optimizations.
>
> I would like to start a collection of such generators, that can then be used in testing.
>
> The goal is to grow this collection in the future, and add new types. For example `byte`, `char`, `short`, or even `Float16`.
>
> This will be helpful for the Template framework [JDK-8344942](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8344942), but also other tests.
