greetings, the srfi states that 'random-integer-generator is the only way to get random bits from a random generator'. since most cryptographical algorithms use not integers, but arrays of bytes, would it not be useful to also specify a procedure that generates this kind of random bits? perhaps a list (of specified length), with integers 0-255 as items, would be the most versatile value of such a procedure. bengt
