Note: this constructor will implicitly create an instance of
Well19937c as random generator to be used for sampling only (see
sample() and AbstractRealDistribution.sample(int)). In case no sampling is
needed for the created distribution, it is advised to pass null
as random generator via the appropriate constructors to avoid the
additional initialisation overhead.

then an appropriate replacement should be returned, e.g. Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY,
Double.NaN, or the limit inferior or limit superior of the difference quotient. Note
that due to the floating point precision and under/overflow issues, this method will for some
