I'm somewhat dubious as to the utility of this approach.
With anything except simple scenes the actual render times are
somewhat long, and rendering multiples of those scenes would
seem to take up a lot of processing power.

However, I can think of many times when I've re-rendered
a scene involving objects placed randomly, or with a random
shape parameter, only changing the seed value.
