I think it's convenient.  Accessing random elements of sequences is not
uncommon.

Smalltalk has `Collection >> atRandom', Clojure has `rand-nth', etc.  I
agree it's probably not something you use daily, but it's convenient to
have it when you need it.

I'd go for including it, but I don't have a super strong opinion about
it.

Cheers,
