@kirklund I disagree. We expect string serialization to work reliably on
*all* inputs, and since we can't test all of them, we may as well test a bunch
picked at random. If we fail, it's because of a corner case we haven't thought
of. I would rather catch it randomly in testing than when a customer wants to
store strings we hadn't anticipated. The seed is captured and printed so that
we can reproduce the failure.
There are cases where random input could show deficiencies in our test or
testing environment rather than in the code under test; I don't think this is
one of those.
