Description:
------------
In mt_rand docs I can't find possibility of returning NULL.
I suggest return false in this situation(see test script).

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(mt_rand(INF,INF));
var_dump(mt_rand(INF,NULL));

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
NULL
NULL

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

> Note: If the parameters given to a function are not what it expects, such as passing an array where a string is
> expected, the return value of the function is undefined. In this case it will likely return NULL but this is just
> a convention, and cannot be relied upon.
