> This is a wish for an instance {{create}} method for RandomSource:
> {code:java}
> public RestorableUniformRandomProvider create() {
>     return create(this);
> }
> public RestorableUniformRandomProvider create(Object seed,
>                                               Object... data) {
>     return create(this, seed, data);
> }
> {code}
> It is syntactic sugar to avoid typing the use of the static factory method and repeating {{RandomSource}} in close succession:
> {code:java}
> RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT);
> RandomSource.create(RandomSource.MT, 12345L);
> {code}
> Becomes:
> {code:java}
> RandomSource.MT.create();
> RandomSource.MT.create(12345L);
> {code}
> It would make the use of the static factory method redundant, which could be deprecated.
> Opinions on this?
