    /*
    * Permutation table. This is just a random jumble of all numbers 0-255,
    * repeated twice to avoid wrapping the index at 255 for each lookup.
    * This needs to be exactly the same for all instances on all platforms,
    * so it's easiest to just keep it as static explicit data.
    * This also removes the need for any initialisation of this class.
    *
    * Note that making this an int[] instead of a char[] might make the
    * code run faster on platforms with a high penalty for unaligned single
    * byte addressing. Intel x86 is generally single-byte-friendly, but
    * some other CPUs are faster with 4-aligned reads.
    * However, a char[] is smaller, which avoids cache trashing, and that
    * is probably the most important aspect on most architectures.
    * This array is accessed a *lot* by the noise functions.
    * A vector-valued noise over 3D accesses it 96 times, and a
    * float-valued 4D noise 64 times. We want this to fit in the cache!
