Docs of random.Random always refer to it with Random([seed]) (`lib/random.py`), tough the parameter is actually named `x` making it : 
 - non obvious what it does.
 - hard to search for.
 - hard to remember when using kwargs.

Obviously changing the name is a change in API, though I doubt it is used much as a kwarg... 
I suggest renaming it to `seed=`, deprecating but still allowing the usage of `x=` for now, until proper removal of `x=`
