[jira] Commented: (SANDBOX-236) Eliminate methods in Generator class that simply invoke same-named methods from Algorithms against the calling Generator

Note that there may be a balance to strike between syntactic sugar and API stability.  :|

> I believe that any convenience gained by these methods' presence will be negated by increasing user confusion as Algorithms may be expanded while Generator is "stuck" as a result of its being an interface.  It would be more consistent to remove these now rather than incur a "partial, but decreasing symmetry" relationship between this static utility class and interface as time goes on.
