  I'm looking at the code, and I think that seeding the random number
generator is *not* something it should do---that should be left to the user
to do.  

  Why?

  Because I seed with a custom function that reads bytes from either
/dev/random or /dev/urandom (default) [3].  Sure, provide a seed function
that *can* be used, but doesn't have to be used, but please, don't just
automatically seed the random number generator.
