Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

def get_random_number():
    return 4 #chosen by fair dice roll
             #guaranteed to be random

This is clearly a major issue. (https://xkcd.com/221)

    I don't know if it's useful though. This module was meant to be a bit of a joke, not to be maintained further.

    For a good reason, as it was a bugfix. Adding this function is honestly not a useful feature.

    I will reject this feature because I don't think it's useful and I don't think this module needs to be changed more.
