Comment(by cremona):
PS Robert: why do you care about missing half the group? the only places
I know where this function is used do not care (finding random points in
order to find generators for the group of points). Are you just being
pedantic? We could always add a paramter to the random_point() function
which switches on or off this new behaviour?
