Comment (by mlajo):

 Replying to [comment:3 SergeyBiryukov]:

 > This is also consistent with `mt_rand()`, which returns a random integer
 and not 0 when parameters are omitted. So changing this behavior does not
 seem feasible due to security implications, but we can update the
 documentation to mention that the `$max` value is only taken into account
 if it's greater than zero.


 mt_rand( 0, 0 ) returns 0
