+**: Since `v0.3.0` weightedrand can efficiently utilize a single Chooser across

 Don't be mislead by these numbers into thinking `weightedrand` is always the
 right choice! If you are only picking from the same distribution once,
 `randutil` will be faster. `weightedrand` optimizes for repeated calls at the
-expense of some setup time and memory storage.

 ## Caveats
 
-Note this uses `math/rand` instead of `crypto/rand`, as it is optimized for
-performance, not a cryptographically secure implementation.
