Comment (by sagalbot):

 This library appears to be out of date - running php -l against these
 files in a PHP7 environment will trigger syntax errors. This was fixed
 October 2016
 https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat/commit/1788eb294e9f2016045d6e2d202530b48d77671c.

 WPEngine runs php -l against all files when you are deploying with git
 push, and if syntax errors are found, you cannot push. Currently, I can't
 push my projects to a PHP71 WPEngine server, because php -l fails on all
 of the files from this package, as they are out of date with the latest
 changes.
