I like this design a lot. After all, `random` is not a property of some type or instance, but we want to generate a new random element within some range/based on some given set. Modeling that as methods of the RNG seems to be much more natural. -- Martin _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
