#' The change in how `set.seed` works in R 3.6 prompted the creation of this
#' R version agnostic replacement to get unit test code to work on multiple
#' versions of R in a CICD test build.
#'
#' It seems \code{RNGkind(sample.kind="Rounding")} does not work prior to
#' version 3.6 so I resorted to using version dependent construction of the
#' argument list to set.seed() in do.call().#'
#' @return NULL, invisibly.
#'
#' @param seed argument to \code{set.seed}
#' @export
#' @examples
#' set_seed(1)
#' rnorm(5)
