There has been no effort to merge the 'develop' branch of 'random' into 
'master' and now the deadline for doing so has passed, at least for the 
beta release. Can anyone look into doing this and maintaining the 
'random' library, at least for the future ? It is disappointing to me 
that my simple fix which would allow the Embarcadero C++ clang-based 
compiler to use Boost random will not get in the upcoming release, 
because it is the only Boost library of which I know for which my fixes 
to allow the Embarcadero C++ clang-based compilers to work properly has 
not been applied for the 1.75 release.
