-class Array
-  # Chooses a random array element from the receiver based on the weights
-  # provided. If _weights_ is nil, then each element is weighed equally.
-  # 
-  #   [1,2,3].random          #=> 2
-  #   [1,2,3].random          #=> 1
-  #   [1,2,3].random          #=> 3
-  #
-  # If _weights_ is an array, then each element of the receiver gets its
-  # weight from the corresponding element of _weights_. Notice that it
-  # favors the element with the highest weight.
-  #
-  #   [1,2,3].random([1,4,1]) #=> 2
-  #   [1,2,3].random([1,4,1]) #=> 1

-  #   [1,2,3].random([1,4,1]) #=> 3

-  # If _weights_ is a symbol, the weight array is constructed by calling
-  # the appropriate method on each array element in turn. Notice that
-  # it favors the longer word when using :length.
