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
