Comment (by sarciszewski):

 Current patch does the following:

 * Adds functions:
   * `wp_random_bytes(int $number)`
   * `wp_random_positive_int()`
   * `wp_secure_rand(int $min, int $max)`
 * Does not patch `wp_rand()` like the previous patch did.
 * Updates `wp_generate_password()` to use `wp_secure_rand()` instead.
 * Adds a unit test in `tests/phpunit/tests/functions.php`

 I'd like to request this gets bumped up for evaluation in 4.1 or 4.1.1
