Add-Entropy

(add-entropy string) -> #f
(add-entropy string random) -> #f

Adds a sequence of bytes as additional entropy from the supplied string to a <random> object, or, if omitted, *default-random*. This is useful when an external source of entropy, such as the "sprng" algorithm, is available for periodically disturbing the state of a pseudorandom number generator. Correct use of add-entropy should reduce the periodicity of MOSVM's pseudorandom number generators.

Example:

>> (add-entropy "discombobulate")
:: #f
