Hi all,

I was surprised by the fact that rand-nth thrown when called on an empty
collection - see http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-925

This behaviour is strange, since passing nil to rand-nth returns nil,
whereas in my experience, other Clojure functions treat nil and empty
collections in the same way (compare with next/rest/first, etc).

http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-925 was marked as Completed without
comment – is this the intended behaviour? If so, would you accept a patch
to update the docstring to make it clear that the function will throw an
exception when passed an empty collection?

Thanks,

Marc
