    Description

      When using random numbers in tests, the problem is that a test failure isn't easily reproduced, because the random number sequence is either not known or else not easily re-generated.

      Let's add a QTestRandomNumber generator whose seed is recorded and printed on test failures. Optionally, it might also record seeds for RNGs used inside libraries, via some hook mechanism.
