[Rd] package load altering RNG state

[Benjamin Tyner]

Hello

When loading a package, I'm wondering if it's frowned upon for the 
package to alter the state of the random number generator? I guess not, 
since the parallel package does it?

    > set.seed(6860)
    > old.seed <- .GlobalEnv$.Random.seed
    > library(parallel)
    > new.seed <- .GlobalEnv$.Random.seed
    > identical(old.seed, new.seed)
    [1] FALSE

I ask because, I found myself writing a custom wrapper around library() 
to restore the original RNG state, in order to increase reproducibility. 
But now wondering if others would welcome such a feature to be added to 
base R? Either something very general like

    preserveRNGstate(library(parallel))

or perhaps an specific enhancement to library itself?

Regards
Ben
