Description:
------------
uniqid()'s 2nd parameter(more entropy) is optional and false by default.

http://jp1.php.net/uniqid

Without more entropy, uniqid() may produce non unique id even if the name states 
it. This could be security issue under certain cases.

Making it true by default would not break any apps, therefore it should be true 
by default.

I think uniqid() should have "more entropy" parameter first place. Since we have 
it, we should provide better default.
