This is a backwards-compatibility leftover in mt_rand() and we should not
carry it over into a new API.
While this is true, the current implementation of MT in PHP relies on
global state, and I believe that having a compatibl

Yes. RNG stands for Random Number Generator, which I think is a common
acronym.
Cryptographic pseudo-random number generators are commonly known as a

generator?
