Detailed Description

Stores information required to re-create a seed path (e.g. for MLT)

This class makes it possible to transmit a path over the network or store it locally, while requiring very little storage to do so. This is done by describing a path using an index into a random number stream, which allows to generate it cheaply when needed.
