<p>This subsection is based on the
<a class="uref" href="http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-27/srfi-27.html">specification of
SRFI-27</a> written by Sebastian Egner.
</p>
<p>This SRFI provides access to a (pseudo) random number generator; for
Guile&rsquo;s built-in random number facilities, which SRFI-27 is implemented
upon, See <a class="xref" href="Random.html">Random Number Generation</a>. With SRFI-27, random numbers are obtained from a
<em class="emph">random source</em>, which encapsulates a random number generation
algorithm and its state.
