Checking the bash 5.1 release notes, you may be right but it isn't clear
from either that or the bash manual. For some reason, I was associating
it with "secure" because the need for good random number generators is
often associated with security.

Before I forget this again, random should be added to the modules array
in Completion/Zsh/Type/_module_math_func so that completion adds its
math functions.
