:arity => 2,
:type => :rvalue,
:doc => <<-EOS
Usage: `seeded_rand(MAX, SEED)`. MAX must be a positive integer; SEED is any string.
Generates a random whole number greater than or equal to 0 and less
than MAX, using the value of SEED for repeatable randomness. If SEED
starts with "$fqdn:", this is behaves the same as `fqdn_rand`.
