Only to this one problem, but it would lead to many others: Being able
to seed [random] objects separately is a very important feature. For
example a lot of the algorithmic composition in the game "Spore" is
relying on seeding random generators separately with known seeds
(according to the talk once posted here).

In Lua there is only one seed for all math.random() calls, and it's even
globally affecting all pd_lua objects. That's very annoying, but thank
god, there's a random.so "external" Lua module which fixes this.
