This package is a basic part of Haskell, so it should conform to
the standard. So I think this proposal is premature. If those extensions
are all added to Haskell 2011 or whatever, then it could be considered.

In the meantime, these are great ideas. It would be wonderful to have
alternatives to random on Hackage that implement these and other
enhancements.

Thanks,
Yitz
