The problem is that we want to produce the same numbers on one process and on many processes. The interface doesn't really afford that because it provides a stream of numbers. If we know the number of entries we're about to ask for on each process, we could do a Scan to find the starting index and "seed" with that, where drawing a number hashes and increments the counter. But this is pretty contorted.
