021/**
022 * Generates {@link Short} objects across the full range of possible short values.
023 * 
024 * <p>Features:</p>
025 * <ul>
026 *   <li>Generates values from -32,768 to 32,767 ({@link Short#MIN_VALUE} to {@link Short#MAX_VALUE})</li>
027 *   <li>Even distribution across the entire short range</li>
028 *   <li>Thread-safe implementation</li>
029 *   <li>Uses integer generation internally for precision</li>
030 * </ul>
031 * 
032 * <p><em>Example usage:</em></p>
033 * <pre>
034 * var generator = new ShortObjectGenerator();
035 * Short value = generator.next(); // Returns a random short value
036 * </pre>
037 * 
038 * <p>This generator is particularly useful for testing:</p>
039 * <ul>
040 *   <li>Boundary conditions at Short.MIN_VALUE and Short.MAX_VALUE</li>
041 *   <li>Type conversion scenarios</li>
042 *   <li>Numeric overflow cases</li>
043 * </ul>
