I did notice that, as I stated before. But the function is named
'random seed', which implies it is to seed an RNG, *not* that is in an
RNG. I think this could leave people to conclude the sequence will be
cryptographically sucure. So whilst I'm not disagreeing with what you

I did notice that, but what's the point of a random seed? I think this
could leave people to conclude the sequence will be cryptographically
sucure. So whilst I'm not disagreeing with what you say, and agree the
documetation is correct in what it says, I believe there's a big
chance for confusion.
