  What about an alternative allocator? Specifically I'm thinking 
in C's equivalent which is alloca (allocates directly on the 
stack with the rest of the variables). If the constructor is a 
function then that won't work; but if it's inlined then it should 
work.

  I suppose the alternate is an option to skip/throw away some 
numbers that should've been consumed (assuming you want to keep 
using the same seed), or seeding each per use.
