This threw me two days ago (last time I was doing anything :), when I
was trying to set the default random seed myself.

You say:

    @var{*random-state*}

However, var is intended for *metasyntactic* variables, not code
variables, for which I believe you should use @code.  This threw me
because I was reading it in Info, for which makeinfo upcases
metasyntactic variables; i.e., *RANDOM-STATE*.  Blecch.
