Description

SecureRandom implements the choose method that randomly draws from a source array of characters.
This method is currently private, but it could be useful as a public method.

For example for generating a pin number:

SecureRandom.choose((0..9).to_a, 6)

Another example is Rails, which implements SecureRandom.base36 and SecureRandom.base58.
These implementations would be a lot simpler (and faster for base36) by replacing it with choose:
