`random` outputs a psuedo-random number from 0 to 32767, inclusive.
Even ignoring the very narrow range of values you should not assume
this produces truly random values within that range. Do not use the
-value for any cryptographic purposes. Even if you're using it to, for
-example, generate unique identifiers you should be careful about handling
-collisions; i.e., the same random number appearing more than once in a
-given fish instance.
+value for any cryptographic purposes, and take care to handle collisions:

If a `SEED` value is provided, it is used to seed the random number
generator, and no output will be produced. This can be useful for debugging
