seed_seq::size

Discussion:
One of the motivations for incorporating seed_seq::size()
was to simplify the wording
in other parts of 28.5 [rand].
As a side effect of resolving related issues,
all such references
to seed_seq::size()
will have been excised.
More importantly,
the present specification is contradictory,
as "The number of 32-bit units the object can deliver"
is not the same as "the result of v.size()
."
See N2391 and N2423 for some further discussion.
Proposed resolution:
Adopt the proposed resolution in N2423.
[ Kona (2007): The LWG adopted the proposed resolution of N2423 for this issue. The LWG voted to accelerate this issue to Ready status to be voted into the WP at Kona. ]
