/// # Extensible Generator Generation
///
/// Instead of constructing a single vector of size `m*n`, as
/// described in the Bulletproofs paper, we construct each party's
/// generators separately.
///
/// To construct an arbitrary-length chain of generators, we apply
/// SHAKE256 to a domain separator label, and feed each 64 bytes of
/// XOF output into the `ristretto255` hash-to-group function.
/// Each of the `m` parties' generators are constructed using a
/// different domain separation label, and proving and verification
/// uses the first `n` elements of the arbitrary-length chain.
///
/// This means that the aggregation size (number of
/// parties) is orthogonal to the rangeproof size (number of bits),
/// and allows using the same `BulletproofGens` object for different
/// proving parameters.
///
/// This construction is also forward-compatible with constraint
/// system proofs, which use a much larger slice of the generator
/// chain, and even forward-compatible to multiparty aggregation of
/// constraint system proofs, since the generators are namespaced by
/// their party index.
