This is unfortunate. That package doesn't look like a likely candidate for
the platform: It is new, and the API looks like it has been in rapid,

Is is possible that you can make QC work with standard random package, and
only use tf-random as an option? Is there something seriously flawed in
random that should be fixed there?
