Is `rand`'s floating point range accurate?

help
1

From Standard in rand::distributions - Rust :

Floating point types (f32 and f64): Uniformly distributed in the half-open range [0, 1). See notes below.

Can I blindly use the generated value as it's strictly in the [0, 1) range ?
Are there cases where the value can be negative, 1.0 or bigger ?

I think you can probably generally assume that documentation is not lying to you.
