Shouldn't this method, and related methods, mention the fact that `RandomGenerator` instances are located as services? I see no mention of of that fact anywhere, unless I missed it, but I do see the `uses` and `provides` declarations in the module declaration. A paragraph explaining how services are used here, perhaps in the package specification, would be ideal. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/1292
