## Description

### `param_type` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     explicit param_type(RealType a = 1.0, RealType b = 1.0);

   Constructs a ``param_type`` from the "a" and "b" parameters of the distribution.

   Requires: a > 0 && b > 0

### `param_type` public member functions

1.     RealType a() const;

   Returns the "a" parameter of the distribtuion.

2.     RealType b() const;

   Returns the "b" parameter of the distribution.

### `param_type` friend functions

1.     template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
         friend std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > &
         operator<<(std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & os,
                    const param_type & param);

   Writes a ``param_type`` to a `std::ostream`.

2.     template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
         friend std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > &
         operator>>(std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits > & is,
                    const param_type & param);

   Reads a ``param_type`` from a `std::istream`.

3.     friend bool operator==(const param_type & lhs, const param_type & rhs);

   Returns true if the two sets of parameters are the same.

4.     friend bool operator!=(const param_type & lhs, const param_type & rhs);

   Returns true if the two sets of parameters are the different.
