Hi!
I would prefer something like random_fast_int() == mt_rand() == rand(),
with clear documentation on when to use random_fast_int() instead of
random_int(), and a note on the others that "since 7.2, mt_rand() is an
alias for random_fast_int()" etc. (Not wedded to the name
random_fast_int, we can bikeshed that later.)
That sounds to me like a good way to proceed too. I don't think it's a
big deal it mt_rand won't be using specific MT algorithm anymore, I see
very small number of places where it would matter.
For these cases https://packagist.org/packages/leigh/mt-rand
