Currently, there is no need besides the floor position and
a random function. However, the algorithm only returns
a number in a given range. This allows to choose from a
given set of stones, items, floors simultaneously, and I think
about adding a recursivity to the designs, like in:
 {"fl-abyss", {"st-rock2", "st-rock3", "al:lines"}, "al:random"}

Greets,
