The flavor variable describes a random symbol. By default variables are single-character lowercase letters from the English alphabet.

The length and alphabet options match those defined by the StringTools:-Random command.

Generated random variables are globally scoped in the Maple environment. This command does not attempt to avoid returning a variable that matches something in use, possibly with an assigned value.
