Hi,

My current objective is to make existing API to work, so resource may be
used
to set/get PRNG state.
I would prefer it if we not introduce a new usage of resources. An
object would suffice.
*** Initialize and Create new PRNG state resource ***
resource mt_srand([int|string $seed])
resource: MT rand state resource.
$seed: I would like to allow large seed like Python and Ruby.
When seed is string, use all bits for MT rand state
initialization.
Example usage: mt_srand(random_bytes(2000));
*** Get random number from state resource ***
int mt_rand() // System state
int mt_rand(resource $state) // Specified user state
int mt_rand(int $min , int $max [,resource $state]) // Specified user state
if $state is passed
While we could retrofit this into the existing API, it would be cleaner
and friendlier to provide a new one based on objects.
