Description
Returns the list with the order scrambled. The resulting list will have the same number of elements but the order will be random. each time the function is run. permut-random respects nesting, i.e. if the list is a tree, only first-level elements of the tree are scrambled- sublists are not touched. For example, if the list (1 (2 3) 4) is given, (2 3) will remain in the same order though their place in the master list may change, i.e. ((2 3) 1 4).
