Note the paragraph below the table listing the current random
functions, explaining the PRNG and the interaction with setseed(). If
you document the new functions in a separate section, that text would
need updating to refer to 2 separate locations (and possibly more in
the future), which seems a little messy. So I think it would be better
to keep documenting all the random functions together in the same
table.
