It would relatively easy to add a right outlet to [random]. Another option might be an explicit [seed] object which could give you further control or perhaps some creation flags for [random] as well.
you still have control on the seed... just seed it
no because you need to add an extra outlet to [random] and prints out the seed value.
or even seed it with the system time on creation?
if one adds now this behaviour one need to put a flag for backward compatibility.
what if [seed( without argument would take the current system time?
this could be an idea but one need the second outlet.
