This may be naive.  I get the idea from listening to the talk among the
Java Swarm users that one should use the Java collections instead of
Swarm collections, but this capability for random transversal seems
necessary on the Java side.   Is there some comparable Java library or
package that will let me transverse a Java collection in random order?
