Comment (by komzpa):

 https://postgis.net/docs/ST_GeneratePoints.html says "ST_GeneratePoints
 generates pseudo-random points until the requested number are found within
 the input area". There is no guarantee that sequence will be the same or
 not the same each time. IMMUTABLE only affects caching in Postgres as for
 now, and per current documentation it's okay to cache ST_GeneratePoints
 output for the same polygon. Will a note about this behavior be
 sufficient?
