I don't think there's such a thing as "real random" in digital algos, just "pseudo random".
Apart from card games, what's the use case? (I'm not in TC39 so I can't vote on this) I think that this comes after `toObject(keyCallback)`, `takeWhile`, `skipWhile`, and `forEachReturningOriginalArray` in terms of usefulness!
