Different applications will want fast crude random-ish numbers, PRNGs,
cryptographic PRNGs, or full quantum randomness, with tradeoffs for
speed and quality.  Since that's so, I'd rather require programmers
to make the choice up front rather than fall back on some dubious
OS version that does who-knows-what.
