Hi, thanks for the updates.

I've made some modifications to the specs of `setSeed` and `next(bits)` for good measure, since the latter also needed to be updated to accommodate overrides made by subclasses. If these changes are satisfactory, please pull them into this PR, and I'll update the CSR correspondingly. Changes are in this branch:
