/**
 * This class implements a piece source that you'd expect in a standard scrabble
 * game. It has 100 pieces with the standard letter distributions:
 * 12 E
 * 9  A I
 * 8  O
 * 6  N R T
 * 4  L S U D
 * 3  G
 * 2  B C M P F H V W Y -
 * 1  K J X Q Z
 *
 * This class works by creating all the pieces above, placing them in a vector
 * and then shuffling the vector so that the piece order is random. As the
 * outside requests pieces, we simply iterate over this vector.
