Code that shows the bug

If you try to create an 8-bit LCG, the code fails to compile (instantiation of
the function-call operator fails).

Compile the attached code with

    clang++ -std=c++11 -o uint8_lcg uint8_lcg.cpp 

Observe the following errors.

In file included from uint8_lcg.cpp:1:

2 errors generated.


The standard doesn't restrict the integer type that may be used, so this is an
erroneous error.  Present in trunk and 3.6.  GCC 5.1 and earlier (libstdc++)
compile the code correctly.</pre>
