y = f(x), z = f^-1(x), implies y = f(f(z)). If f(x) is a "random"
permutation, f(f(x)) is less random; cycles with even order split in
shorter cycles. You are right.

I was lazy. But of course we do not need to use the same function for
randseed, and for the legacy_randseed, as I did in my code.
I vote for decryption in the main library, I like use of sum to detect the
end of the loop :-)
