Description
Would it be possible, or even desired, to add a feature which would let you take the seed number from ExUnit, and use it to seed the random data supplied by Faker during tests? It would make it really helpful to track down the results of flaky tests.

Research direction
No file or test entry point is named. Start by tracing how ExUnit exposes its test seed and how Faker generates random data. Done means a test can use the ExUnit seed to reproduce Faker-generated values and help diagnose flaky results.
