I have created RNG-97 and RNG-98 for Jump and LongJump. Please take a look and comment.
The documentation highlights the implementation detail that a jump or long jump creates a copy that is far ahead. The original generator is not effected. The use case is thus: rng1 = …; rng2 = rng1.jump(); rng3 = rng2.jump(); rng4 = rng3.jump(); As opposed to: rng1 = …; rng2 = rng1.jump(); rng3 = rng1.jump(); rng4 = rng1.jump(); Where rng1 will be advanced each time leaving behind a copy generator. In either case it will be an overlap problem if any of the children are then used for jumping. So as long as the documentation is clear then this is OK. The helper method to create a jump series (or long jump series) in RandomSource seems the best way to avoid incorrect usage.
