    /* Remap radius to get a uniform distribution w.r.t. solid angle on the cone.
     * The logic to derive this mapping is as follows:
     *
     * Sampling a cone is comparable to sampling the hemisphere, we just restrict theta. Therefore,
     * the same trick of first sampling the unit disk and the projecting the result up towards the
     * hemisphere by calculating the appropriate z coordinate still works.
     *
     * However, by itself this results in cosine-weighted hemisphere sampling, so we need some kind
     * of remapping. Cosine-weighted hemisphere and uniform cone sampling have the same conditional
     * PDF for phi (both are constant), so we only need to think about theta, which corresponds
     * directly to the radius.
     *
     * To find this mapping, we consider the simplest sampling strategies for cosine-weighted
     * hemispheres and uniform cones. In both, phi is chosen as `2pi * random()`. For the former,
     * `r_disk(rand) = sqrt(rand)`. This is just naive disk sampling, since the projection to the
     * hemisphere doesn't change the radius.
     * For the latter, `r_cone(rand) = sin_from_cos(mix(cos_angle, 1, rand))`.
     *
     * So, to remap, we just invert r_disk `(-> rand(r_disk) = r_disk^2)` and insert it into
     * r_cone: `r_cone(r_disk) = r_cone(rand(r_disk)) = sin_from_cos(mix(cos_angle, 1, r_disk^2))`.
     * In practice, we need to replace `rand` with `1 - rand` to preserve the stratification,
     * but since it's uniform, that's fine. */
