+however, slightly worse, which is why we use cIntGen classes in the final generator.

+Because there is no SizeX / SizeZ template param, the generators would have to either alloc memory for each
+underlying generator's values, or use a maximum-size buffer. We chose the latter, to avoid memory allocation
+overhead; this however means that there's (an arbitrary) limit to the size of the generated data.
