It may also be instructive to look at the std::philox random engine
as a motivation.

std::philox is essentially a big-integer counter that is encrypted as an
array of integers (limbs) which generates N random numbers. These
encrypted array elements are returned one by one, and every Nth call the
counter is incremented and encrypted to generate the next array of
random numbers.
