======Synopsis:======
$__randread__(<filename>)

======Technical:======
The <filename> argument is a [[what is a word|dword]] which is different
from most function arguments.

This function reads a random line from the specified <filename>.

======Practical:======
This function has many novelty uses: random messages for /[[quit]], /[[kick]],
/[[part]], or /[[topic]].

======Returns:======
The empty string is returned on error (the file does not exist, the file
is empty, or the file cannot be read).  Otherwise, a random line from
the file is returned.
