I'm reasonably in favor. random_integers() with its closed-interval
convention only exists because it existed in Numeric's RandomArray module.
The closed-interval convention was broadly been considered to be a mistake
introduced early in the stdlib random module and rectified with the
introduction and promotion of random.randrange() instead.
