Description
Hello, I am looking at the Mersenne Twister Homepage: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/emt19937ar.html
Apparently there can be a problem with slow initialization in the seeding. The new MT code offers an alternative initialization routine that admits an array of arbitrary length as a seed.
This would be an interesting option to have as it would make it easier to use a random device to seed the MT generator.

Use seed_seq if you want to seed with a fixed length array.
