Units dropped from random() $limit

See original GitHub issue

Proposal

Deprecation

Final

(Original:)

The unit passed with the limit should be the unit on the returned value. Instead the unit is dropped and never considered nor is an error raised.

Step 1: Deprecate passing units to random() as the $limit.

Step 2: Make passing a unit to random() as the $limit an error.

Step 3: Allow units to be passed in, returning them with the random result.

@jcutrell No, the desire is to (ultimately) have math.random(10px) return a number with the unit px.
