A clojure interface to the ANU Quantum Random Numbers Server.
The numbers generated are purported to be 'truly random,' based on
measuring the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum.

(qrand & opts)

The :length keyword determines the number of random numbers to
be returned. The default is 1.

You have 3 choices for keyword :type:
:int8 (returns integers between 0-255; the default)
:int16 (returns integers between 0-65535)
:hex16 (returns hexadecimal strings between 00-ff)

The :blocks keyword is relevant only for type :hex16. It sets
the hexadecimal block size and must be a number between 1-1024.
The default is 1.

NOTE:
If the requested vector is larger than the server's maximum (1024),
a connection pool is used to concat multiple requests.

(require '[naipmoro.qrng.core :refer [qrand]])

One random integer between 0-255:

(qrand)  
=> [110]

6 random integers between 0-255:

(qrand :length 6)  
=> [67 225 141 118 46 102]

4 random integers between 0-65535:

(qrand :length 4, :type :int16)  
=> [24861 25422 60585 58192]

6 random hexadecimal strings (00-ff):

(qrand :length 6, :type :hex16)  
=> ["f8" "45" "3b" "78" "06" "20"]

5 hexadecimal blocks of size 2 (0000-ffff):

(qrand :length 5, :type :hex16, :blocks 2)  
=> ["07cb" "fcc6" "411b" "2780" "3a99"]

1024 bytes of random hexadecimals as one string:

(qrand  :type :hex16, :blocks 1024)  
=> ["554681a2c8a6<..snipped 2024 characters..>16faddb80522"]

Of course, the qrand function can be used to create random
streams of other types. For example:

(defn qrand-bin
  "Returns a lazy sequence of n random bits"
  [n]
  (map #(rem % 2) (qrand :length n)))

(qrand-bin 10)
=> (1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1)

Thanks to the folks at qrng.anu.edu.au for allowing the public
free access to their random number generator.
