A string of length zero hardly qualifies as random.
Shouldn't "generate(0)" rather raise an exception?
[I know that "nextInt(1)" is also not random, but what applies to a
general-purpose low-level utility might not be the best option for
applications that would use TEXT.]
I was following the Robustness principle. Asking for a zero-length string is
odd, but as there was a way to interpret that request without throwing an
exception, I did so.
+1 When generating strings with a random length (e.g between 0 and 10)
asking for a zero length string is not so odd.
