How about (bit) or (randbit)




(randbit) isn't bad. My implementation also takes a float 0 <= x <= 1 to determine the probability of the outcome, so (bit) would probably be too ambiguous. I do like the brevity of a 4-letter function, though. A lot of my lisp coding is genetic and probabilistic so it gets used a lot.


dice?
