I think random_bytes() and random_int() are great; they provide a
much-needed building block in PHP 7.0. However, I do worry a bit that
the most common use for random_int() (generating a random string of a
fixed length with a given character set) will be reinvented over and
over again, and rarely consistently.
I would propose a random_str() function that behaves similar to this
userland snippet: http://stackoverflow.com/a/32870871/2224584
Sounds great, and the amount of different answers on this stack overflow
question highlights the problem very well IMO.
