Also consider the case of using 1 generator in your program, but 
calling it from different places. In one place, you use opCall 
with the popFront -> front order of calls, and in the other you 
use the range interface directly with the order reversed. You 
would re-use values there too.

By offering both interfaces together it makes it pretty easy to 
create silly bugs like this, especially in a large project.

Might be useful to have a basic RNG interface and then wrap it 
with a template that provides either, but not both, of the other 
interfaces at a time.
