  --- BEGIN ISSUE ---
  Access to the Generator.random
  It would be nice if one could gain access to the Generator.random variable so that one could save/set the state.  I realize I can pass in the seed, but one currently has no way of gathering what the seed/state is if using the automatically generated seed.  I don't want to use a fixed seed, but I do want to log/print the seed used _if_ the tests fail.
  
  That is, I'd like to be able to do something like:  `faker.generator.getstate()` (which gets the random state w/o exposing random) or `faker.generator.random.getstate()` (which gives access to the random variable)
  
  For now, the workaround appears to be to create a Faker object with your own Generator.
