By using an RNG parameter initialized with a given seed, you can reproduce the same pseudorandom
number sequence when running your program multiple times. However, a minor release of Julia (e.g.
1.3 to 1.4) *may change* the sequence of pseudorandom numbers generated from a specific seed, in
particular if `MersenneTwister` is used. (Even if the sequence produced by a low-level function like
1.3 to 1.4) *may change* the sequence of pseudorandom numbers generated from a specific seed.
(Even if the sequence produced by a low-level function like
[`rand`](@ref) does not change, the output of higher-level functions like [`randsubseq`](@ref) may
change due to algorithm updates.) Rationale: guaranteeing that pseudorandom streams never change
prohibits many algorithmic improvements.
