+was added to the \module{os} module, providing access to

+function returns a string containing \var{n} bytes of random data.

+\item Another new function: \function{os.path.lexists(\var{path})} 
+returns true if the file specified by \var{path} exists, whether or
+not it's a symbolic link.  This differs from the existing

+\var{path} is a symlink that points to a destination that doesn't exist.
