I suppose the other way to go is to just use random32 as the common
prefix, and just have random32() and random32_state(). My concern was
that people might assume that prandom32() and random32() might imply
that only prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number
generator. This might be easier since there are large number of uses
of random32() in the source tree, but only a relative few using
prandom32().
