Well, why not. Seems like you would use that a lot with PostGIS.

#include <math.h> /* for ldexp() */
+#include <float.h> /* for DBL_EPSILON */
And be careful with the order here.

+static void
+drandom_check_default_seed()
We always use (void) rather than empty parenthesis sets.

I would not leave that unchecked, so I think that you should add
something in ramdom.sql. Or would you prefer switching some of
the regression tests be switched so as they use the new normal
function?

(Ahem. Bonus points for a random_string() returning a bytea, based on
pg_strong_random().)
