Later extensions (associative arrays) will require random
numbers, though. For maintenance reasons (not exporting it
eases maintenance burden on scripts), I will remove export

related to $RANDOM for now, though.

Yay for having to rewrite other people's Bash scripts because bash
suddenly stopped supporting the bash extensions they make use of
