      Should $rand be exclusive of 1? Languages with this type of rand (Java, Python, C#...) exclude 1. This simplifies getElement(int(rand()*length)), since there is no chance (however minor) of going out of bounds, which a user may be caught off guard by.

      Otherwise, is there a reason that $rand should include 1?
