The number or string argument to seed->random-state is not unique to Guile. Slib uses it, too. The string argument always seemed strange to me and seems to be seldom used. But a websearch says that the integer argument is quite common. (seed->random-state (current-time)) seems to be a common idiom that you would end up breaking. Regards, Mike
