Isn't that very wasteful or difficult to do in practice? If you consider that shrinkers generally take lower numbers to be 'simpler' than higher numbers, complexity-ordering requires you to generate all the numbers from low to high
Not really. There are many ways depending on your needs. For example, you can partition your space first, then generate randomly inside each of the subspaces. Let's say I need 200 numbers from -1000 to 999. The first range will be 0 to +99, the second -1 to -100, then +100 to +199, and so on. So, to generate a random number I just need an index and the bounds.
