Note that the standard GNAT random package is pretty close
to standard Ada, the only notable exception is the unrstricted
access to modify the parameter, but this is easily replaced
with the access trick discussed on the newsgroup recently
(no point in doing this replacement for GNAT itself, since
it would add overhead in time and space for no gain).
