Here's a follow-up replacement to the patch I sent earlier, this adjusts some
of the semantics of the dynamic variable setting. Namely, dynamic vars can hook
a set handler (which RANDOM uses to adjust the seed). They'll only lose their
dynamic status if they're unset.
I've used the same approach that bash does to come up with the random number,
mostly just for consistency.
For example:
$ echo $RANDOM
13759
$ echo $RANDOM
20057
$ echo $RANDOM
1502
$ export RANDOM=42
$ echo $RANDOM
24179
$ echo $RANDOM
2046
$ unset RANDOM
$ echo $RANDOM
$ export RANDOM=42
$ echo $RANDOM
42
