This is a suggestion I think would not be too hard to implement:
Skip libc for all random functions. As I see it there is no reason
to keep it. I can't think of any application that would break if
rand() would produce better random results at a higher speed.
So basically what I am saying is this: Implement the mersenne
twister in the back of all random functions.
1. Make rand() an alias to mt_rand()
2. Make srand() an alias to mt_srand() (And since they are
redundant give an E_STRICT?)
3. Make getrandmax() an alias to mt_getrandmax()
4. Have array_rand() implement MT in the back (if it is not doing
so already)
