Thanks for the contribution.  But this would change gameplay
considerably -- in Tetris, you can get the same shape four times in a
row, while with your change, that's no longer possible.  I.e., it makes
the game less random, so I'm not sure that would be a welcome change.
(And you can predict which ones you'll be getting at the end of each
seven piece cycle by counting a bit.)

It might make sense to add it as an option, though.  Any Tetris players
here with an opinion?
