I don't think such a function would be a good default, but I think there may be applications, probably some complex very large simulations, where this might matter.

You think there might be applications like complex very large simulations where an event with probability 1:10^38 matters?

You are aware that the current age of the universe is < 10^27 nanoseconds, just for comparison?

But what if you want a random number between two very small floats?

[leiroigh]

Fair enough, if a user asks for a random float between [0, 1e-38f] then subnormals are expected.

I was just thinking about the (0,1) case, under the mistaken assumption that one could map it to (a,b) via multiplication/addition, but you're right -- if you want (a,b) perfectly () then it's not obvious to me.
