Thanks everyone. My only question now is why there is random_sample and random. My guess is that one is there for compatibility with older releases and so I'm not bothered by it.

Don't use rand(), then. Use random(). rand()'s sole purpose in life is to *not*
take a tuple. If you like, you can read the archives on the several (long)
discussions on this and why things are the way they are now. We finally achieved
something resembling consensus, so please let's not resurrect this argument.
Thanks everyone. My only question now is why there is random_sample and random. My guess is that one is there for compatibility with older releases and so I'm not bothered by it.
