Can we still do this concisely and get the new state of the rng back out the other end after the die has been thrown a few times?
Oops; I missed that part!
Or are things like newStdGen meant to be so cheap that it's fine to use lots of different RNGs instead of one that you thread through everything?
I've no idea - I've always used StdGen's as if they were going out of style. (You can, of course, `split` them and get two for the price of one) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
