Range support is something that came up, and I think it’s a great idea as well. My question now is do we support both `CountableRange` and `CountableClosedRange`?</div>

It would be nice to leverage range support instead of a start and end value IMHO.<br>

Hello swift evolution, I would like to propose a unified approach to `random()` in Swift. I have a simple implementation here <a href="https://gist.github.com/Azoy/5d294148c8b97d20b96ee64f434bb4f5" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/Azoy/5d294148c8b97d20b96ee64f434bb4f5</a>.
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.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’d like to hear about your ideas on this proposal, or any implementation changes if need be.</div>
