Is there a way to get multiple random numbers without having to
replicateM?

While comparing the random-fu interface with Control.Monad.Random (both
using StdGen), I noticed that while performance is comparable, using
getRandomRs to get a list of random numbers is a lot faster than
replicating uniform (or getRandomR for that matter). I don't know if
this kind of speed gain makes sense for random-fu though.
