#707 upgrades the
randcrate to version0.9, however, makes use of new APIs introduced in version0.9.1(rand::distr::Alphabetic).Specifying the version string
0.9incargo.tomlallows projects that already haverandas a dependency to use version0.9.0, which leads to build failures sincerand::distr::Alphabeticdid not exist in0.9.0(I have experienced this myself in one of my projects).By specifying the version
0.9.1, we ensure that any projects that rely on this library will always pull a version of rand that hasrand::distr::Alphabeticavailable.
