Does anyone have a recommendation for a portable CL random number generator? It doesn't have to be brilliant, but I want something that will let me have replicable results across implementations when I supply a seed -- otherwise I need to write different tests for different implementations, which is painful

I suppose I could just make a mock RNG for use in testing, but without something like a portable ADVISE that seems strictly harder than finding a portable random library.

Thanks! I had used cl-random before, but would prefer something that is maintained.

Shinmera: just a thought -- would you entertain a PR that pushed the documentation out into `random-state/documentation` ? The reason I ask is that the documentation introduces a dependency tail that I don't think is necessary just to use the library.

ACTION has decided that his new favorite testing framework is 1am but would have tried one hour later if jackdaniel put it in the QL dist.
