OK, fine. Any objections to "shuffle" and "rand-elt", to parallel

"shuffle" seems perfectly fine. We *know* you aren't modifying it in place,
after all.
Is there any reason we can't name random-element something like random-elem
? I think that is a fine compromise.

You're right, they should probably live in seq_utils.clj instead.
I'll post an issue to move them.
If anyone has strong feelings about names, now would be a good time to
air them. My inclination is to leave the names as they are now; while
"shuffle" is the name for the Java "random-permut
I was a bit surprised that random-permutation is in lazy-seqs.. there
doesn't seem to be much lazy about it, right? It is just java's
shuffle.

I'd be OK with shuffle, I guess, but I don't know if one-of is
descriptive enough
I can see arguments either way. Certainly for the core library, short names
are a plus. We don't want to litter our code with (get-first-element-of-seq
x), but for less common routines from the libraries, the longer names may
help readability a lot.

Would you consider changing the names of these 2 functions ?
random-permutation -> shuffle
random-element -> one-of
Shorter names are a trademark of c
Not yet, but perhaps soon. Code is here:

Is there a function, perhaps in contrib somewhere, when given a collection,
returns a single random element?
