Considering that no new project is likely to be in IB5.n we don't really need
to speculate about the shortage of 32-bit based generator numbers. However,
unless my arithmetic is horribly wrong, I believe it will take you some 23,000
years to increment your way through 2Gb of generators at 1 generator per
second. Even ten a second will last over two thousand years. A hundred a
second will give you two hundred years worth. Your going to run into other
limits long before your generators start wrapping around.
