Yihui Xie 7eb8ddf372 fixes #456: use .Random.seed only if it exists in the global environment
e.g. the expr may not trigger the creation of .Random.seed, such as set.seed(NULL) under R 2.15.x, which will fail

#' Make a random number generator repeatable
#'
#' Given a function that generates random data, returns a wrapped version of
#' that function that always uses the same seed when called. The seed to use can
#' be passed in explicitly if desired; otherwise, a random number is used.
#'
#' @param rngfunc The function that is affected by the R session's seed.
#' @param seed The seed to set every time the resulting function is called.
#' @return A repeatable version of the function that was passed in.
#'
#' @note When called, the returned function attempts to preserve the R session's
#' current seed by snapshotting and restoring
#' \code{\link[base]{.Random.seed}}.

#' Validate input values and other conditions
#'
#' For an output rendering function (e.g. \code{\link{renderPlot}()}), you may
#' need to check that certain input values are available and valid before you
#' can render the output. \code{validate} gives you a convenient mechanism for
#' doing so.
#'
#' The \code{validate} function takes any number of (unnamed) arguments, each of
#' which represents a condition to test. If any of the conditions represent
#' failure, then a special type of error is signaled which stops execution. If
#' this error is not handled by application-specific code, it is displayed to
#' the user by Shiny.
#'
#' An easy way to provide arguments to \code{validate} is to use the \code{need}
#' function, which takes an expression and a string; if the expression is
#' considered a failure, then the string will be used as the error message. The
#' \code{need} function considers its expression to be a failure if it is any of
#' the following:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item{\code{FALSE}}
#' \item{\code{NULL}}
#' \item{\code{""}}
#' \item{An empty atomic vector}
#' \item{An atomic vector that contains only missing values}
#' \item{A logical vector that contains all \code{FALSE} or missing values}
#' \item{An object of class \code{"try-error"}}
#' \item{A value that represents an unclicked \code{\link{actionButton}}}
#' }
#'
#' If any of these values happen to be valid, you can explicitly turn them to
#' logical values. For example, if you allow \code{NA} but not \code{NULL}, you
#' can use the condition \code{!is.null(input$foo)}, because \code{!is.null(NA)
#' == TRUE}.
#'
#' If you need validation logic that differs significantly from \code{need}, you
#' can create other validation test functions. A passing test should return
#' \code{NULL}. A failing test should return an error message as a
#' single-element character vector, or if the failure should happen silently,
#' \code{FALSE}.
#'
#' Because validation failure is signaled as an error, you can use
#' \code{validate} in reactive expressions, and validation failures will
#' automatically propagate to outputs that use the reactive expression. In
#' other words, if reactive expression \code{a} needs \code{input$x}, and two
#' outputs use \code{a} (and thus depend indirectly on \code{input$x}), it's
#' not necessary for the outputs to validate \code{input$x} explicitly, as long
#' as \code{a} does validate it.
#'
#' @param ... A list of tests. Each test should equal \code{NULL} for success,
#' \code{FALSE} for silent failure, or a string for failure with an error
#' message.
#' @param errorClass A CSS class to apply. The actual CSS string will have
#' \code{shiny-output-error-} prepended to this value.
