    A simple screen that fetches documents from RFC (Request for Comments).

    Request for Comments (RFC) is a memorandum published by the Internet
    Engineering Task Force (IETF) describing methods, behaviors, research, or
    innovations applicable to the working of the Internet and Internet-
    connected systems.

    More information about RFC at Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments

    This screen basically does the same as its super class,
    `SimpleUrlFetcherBase`, with a simple difference that it must randomize
    the URL to be fetched in every screen cycle. This is done by overriding
    the `run` command.

    The list of valid RFCs, according to Wikipedia, are listed in `valid_rfc`.
    Although this may vary in time, small out-of-date information will still
    not affect the main purpose of this screen.
