 /**
 A "good" seed for initializing random number engines. Initializing
 with $(D_PARAM unpredictableSeed) makes engines generate different
 random number sequences every run.
 
+This function utilizes the system (CS-)PRNG where available and implemented
+(currently `arc4random` on applicable BSD systems or `getrandom` on Linux) to
+generate “high quality” pseudo-random numbers – if possible.
+As a consequence, calling it may block under certain circumstances (typically
+during early boot when the system's entropy pool has not yet been
+initialized).
+
+On x86 CPU models which support the `RDRAND` instruction, that will be used
+when no more specialized randomness source is implemented.
+
+In the future, further platform-specific PRNGs may be incorporated.
+
+Warning:
+$(B This function must not be used for cryptographic purposes.)
+Despite being implemented for certain targets, there are no guarantees
+that it sources its randomness from a cryptographically-secure PRNG.
+The implementation also includes a fallback option that provides very little
+randomness and is used when no better source of randomness is available or
+integrated on the target system.
+As written earlier, this function only aims to provide randomness for seeding
+ordinary (non-cryptographic) RNG engines.
+
 Returns:
 A single unsigned integer seed value, different on each successive call
