i think it is possible, and i don't think it should be implemented. a) it's super-easy to implement as an abstraction. what would a built-in solution give you that an abstraction cannot give you? b) it adds a false sense of randomness. either the seed should be stupid enough (as is now), or it should have proper entropy. your solution is inbetween. gfmsadf IOhannes
