It seems like the "proper" solution to this problem would be to make all random number generators pull from the cryptographically secure randomness pool by default. If your random number needs are within what can be provided with strong guarantees, it doesn't seem like there's any reason to give you anything but strongly random numbers.
People who need more random numbers per second than can be generated securely will simply have to pass explicit parameters indicating they want to stop getting high quality numbers. This would be easy to see in code review and highlight the choices being made.
