Struct Generator 

pub struct Generator<E: Curve>(/* private fields */);

Generator of curve E

Curve generator is a point on curve defined in curve specs. For some curves, generator multiplication may be optimized, so Scalar<E> * Generator<E> would more efficient than Scalar<E> * Point<E>. That’s the only purpose of Generator<E> structure: to distinguish generator multiplication and potentially use more efficient algorithm.

Curve generator Generator<E> should be obtained by calling Point::generator(). You may convert Generator<E> to Point<E> or NonZero<Point<E>> by calling .to_point() or .to_nonzero_point(), but then multiplication may be less efficient.
