Patch for this suggestion

rndGen always returns Random(usually MT) object. This is often useful, but
randomShuffle cant't take other random generators.

I think following signature is better.

    ref RandomGen rndGen(RandomGen = Random)()

But this change forces us to write parenthesis function call.

    rndGen;    // Compilation error
    rndGen();  // OK, return Random object.

For me, this is no problem. However I don't know the writing style of other
people.
