Improve #5318 to allow for the additional syntax:
random_testing(tester, handle_iteration = True)
In that case, the wrapper function would handle all the iteration running
boiler plate. When the seed is not specified by the caller, the
boilerplate could further set explicitly the seed in randstate.pyx to a
random value at each iteration. Then, reproducing the bug would involve
running a single iteration.
With a bit of magic one could allow for the following syntactic sugar
@random_testing(handle_iteration = True)
def tester(...):
...
Possible implementation: when random_testing receives only keyword
arguments, without a function, it returns a copy of itself with partial
specialization of those keyword arguments (using e.g. the upcoming
default_keyword patch by Mike Hansen)
