[swift-evolution] [Proposal] Random Unification

[Susan Cheng]

Hello,

I have an implementation for reference
https://github.com/SusanDoggie/Doggie/blob/master/Sources/Doggie/Foundation/Random.swift

It's easy to remind that what's the range of random floating point number

Double.random(includeOne: true)
Double.random(includeOne: false)

> Hello swift evolution, I would like to propose a unified approach to
> `random()` in Swift. I have a simple implementation here
> https://gist.github.com/Azoy/5d294148c8b97d20b96ee64f434bb4f5. This
> implementation is a simple wrapper over existing random functions so
> existing code bases will not be affected. Also, this approach introduces a
> new random feature for Linux users that give them access to upper bounds, as
> well as a lower bound for both Glibc and Darwin users. This change would be
> implemented within Foundation.
>
> I believe this simple change could have a very positive impact on new
> developers learning Swift and experienced developers being able to write
> single random declarations.
>
> I’d like to hear about your ideas on this proposal, or any implementation
> changes if need be.
