std.random

[yes]

Thanks !

> Shuffling is usually implemented in-place. A random element is picked, swapped with last one, and then range is decreased. Something like this:

>     while (len > 1) {
> 	int offset = random(0, len); // get a random value that belongs to [0, len)
>         --len;
>         swap(array[offset], array[len]);
>         array.length = len;
>     }

> As a side note I'd add that you should better use Random instead of Mt19937 (the former being an alias to the latter), because it is easier to read and understand (I bet too many people exclaim "wtf is that??" when they first see a class named "Mt19937").
