Source val shuffle_list_weighted : (int * 'a ) list -> 'a list t Creates a generator of weighted shuffled lists. A given list is shuffled on each generation according to the weights of its elements. An element with a larger weight is more likely to be at the front of the list than an element with a smaller weight. If we want to pick random elements from the (head of) list but need to prioritize some elements over others, this generator can be useful.
Example: given a weighted list [1, "one"; 5, "five"; 10, "ten"], the generator is more likely to generate ["ten"; "five"; "one"] or ["five"; "ten"; "one"] than ["one"; "ten"; "five"] because "ten" and "five" have larger weights than "one".

Source val fix : (('a -> 'b t ) -> 'a -> 'b t ) -> 'a -> 'b t Parametrized fixpoint combinator for generating recursive values.

In particular, this can be used for size-bounded generators ('a is int). The passed size-parameter should decrease to ensure termination.
