[PD] Random

[Marco Matteo Markidis]

usually in random number generators one wants to have control on the seed
because this allows to have the same numeric streams every time one wants.
so, IMHO the best practice is to generate a time-valued seed in some way
(e.g. [realtime]) and use it as argument for |seed< method.
