/**
 * Defines a tree of random number generators such that complex randomized structures can be
 * built in parallel in a deterministic way. The based idea is that a NestedRandom can produce
 * off-shoot NestedRandom generators given either an index or a String. You can also get a
 * conventional Random from a NestedRandom at any time.  The idea is that a data structure
 * can have components which need stable randomness sources and those components will also have
 * components. At the leaves of such a JSON-style nested data structure, you have conventional
 * random number generators seeded consistently given the path down to that generator.
 *
 * Note that NestedRandom instances are immutable and do not share any storage. They are
 * fully thread safe.
