abstract: 'Native R implementation of ''EDGAR'', the Experimental Design Generator
  and Randomiser. ''EDGAR'' was originally developed as a suite of ''Excel'' <https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/excel>
  workbooks by the Biometrics team at Rothamsted Research <http://www.edgarweb.org.uk/>.
  The algorithms were subsequently re-implemented in the open-source ''Python'' <https://www.python.org/>
  project ''rotsl/edgar'' <https://rotsl.github.io/edgar/>, distributed as the ''edgar-design''
  package on ''PyPI'' <https://pypi.org/project/edgar-design/>. This R package is
  a native R port of that ''Python'' implementation: it does not require ''Python'',
  ''reticulate'' <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=reticulate>, or any external
  service at runtime, and provides deterministic, reproducible randomisation for nine
  experimental designs including alpha designs (Patterson and Williams, 1976) <https://doi.org/10.1093/biomet/63.1.83>.
  Cross-language reproducibility with the ''Python'' implementation is achieved by
  porting the Mersenne Twister seeding implementation from ''CPython'' <https://github.com/python/cpython>
  and the Fisher-Yates shuffle to native R.'
