I don't like the idea of this, people using rand incorrectly deserve to
get their foot shot off. People using it legitimately don't need to have
their heart skip a beat whenever thye link on FreeBSD because it looks like
there's some danger to using rand(), when it is perfectly good at what it
does, for a lot of common uses.
