   rand now depends on chacha20: rust-random/rand#1642

   So we can't make any crate which is a dependency of chacha20 depend on rand, which includes hybrid-array.

   How about arbitrary instead?

   Maybe we can talk about adding the implementation there then.

   Both would be great!

   I think that's the best we can do on this side. Maybe open an issue on https://github.com/rust-random/rand about rand::Distribution? Though it seems a little weird to me to do it that way

   Well, I'm not aware of any alternative really :/

   Opened a new issue there: rust-random/rand#1662.
