Considering the output of this program:
import std.stdio;
import std.random;
void main() {
foreach (i; 0..20)
writeln(randomSample([0,1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9], 3,
Random(unpredictableSeed)));
}
I'd say the use of std.random should be disallowed on grounds
of safety...
Does it work for someone else? (JIC it's only my old GDC
installation that fails)

Joseph's pull request already contains a fix for this bug but
I'm guessing it won't be merged until other issues with
randomSample are resolved.
