As discusses in #13767, there is some doctests for the `random_set`
function in polybori that have inherent random results. Because of that,
they might break if the implementation of random functions changes, such
as what happened in that ticket.
This is a rare occasion, but still it might be worthwhile to change these
kind of doctests to only check for documented behavior.
For example, the doctests could check that `result = random_set(monomial,
n)` should obey `len(result) == n` and
`result.diff(monomial.divisors()).empty()`. (suggested by Alexander
Dreyer)
Or we could test against theorems (such as: One has random data, but the
test is using an identity that must hold for any data). (suggested by
Simon King)
