[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54619] randi() is biased

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #54619 (project octave):

Rik,

Discussion of "correctness" of random number generators
has a long history and has not been particularly helpful.
The idea of a "perfect" random number generator appears
to be wishful thinking.
However, using the C++ implementation for this case seems 
a reasonable choice combined with the option of backward
compatibility as you point out.
