Hi internals.

I previously proposed an object scope RNG implementation inside.
However, the RFC was rejected after a vote.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/object_scope_prng

Vote: https://externals.io/message/113888
Discussion: https://externals.io/message/112819

As per my previous proposal, PHP is currently in a very unclear state
regarding the random number implementation.

So I would like to ask a few questions.

- Do you think that PHP needs an object-scoped random number
implementation? And why?
- If the API in the previous RFC was improved and voted on again, would you
be willing to vote for it?
- What issues do you think should have been resolved between proposal and
ballot in the previous RFC?

I would like a variety of opinions.
