p(k) = (mean^k / k!) * exp(-mean) for k >= 0.
Valid parameter ranges: mean > 0. Note: if mean <= 0.0 then always returns zero.
Instance methods operate on a user supplied uniform random number generator; they are unsynchronized.
Implementation: This is a port of RandPoisson used in CLHEP 1.4.0 (C++). CLHEP's implementation, in turn, is based upon "W.H.Press et al., Numerical Recipes in C, Second Edition". @author wolfgang.hoschek@cern.ch @version 1.0, 09/24/99
