Re: random doesn't feel very random

[Richard Stallman]

    Given the widespread use of (random t) it should probably be made a
    no-op and a separate API to provide a local state for application that
    wish to control it for whatever reason should be made available.

It is a feature that, if you don't call (random t), `random' returns
a predictable sequence.  That is good for debugging.

Perhaps we should create a different interface for that feature
and make the default truly random.
