Have to register a disagreement here.  The default behaviour should be
statistically reliable -- choosing a faster but lower-quality RNG should be
done advisedly.  We shouldn't reproduce the awful situation of C/C++ where the
default RNG is awful and users have to be educated to avoid it.

However, we could think about easy ways to specify the default RNG type Random
at compile-time.
