random-state,
t
Description:
A random state object contains state
information used by the pseudo-random number generator.
The nature of a random state object is implementation-dependent.
It can be printed out and successfully read back in by the same implementation,
but might not function correctly as a random state in another implementation.
Implementations are required to provide a read syntax for
objects of type random-state, but the specific nature of that syntax 
is implementation-dependent.
