When I put my generator on the timeline and cut it in half,
the second half now restarts the generator at frame 1.
I'd like to have the generated frames on either side of
the cut look identical to how they looked before the cut.
Can I do that?

I'd very much like to second what Brian is saying here, this is
something our users would also benefit from. Maybe an auxiliary step
to "freeze" a generator, take a rendered generator and turn it into
something that behaves more like video item could be employed, after
which the cut-in-half operation would behave like Brian describes.
A somewhat related request that I would like to put forward (related
because it also involves getting two generator instances from one,
without making a new instance from scratch) is to have some sort of
notification when the user uses copy and paste on a generator. While
there would be many who wouldn't have any use for this, in our
particular case it would be most helpful. The value of our custom
parameter contains a persistent ID which we map to objects in an
internal data structure (shared by our generator instances), and the
current situation will sometimes lead to multiple generators with the
same ID. While we have managed to maintain correct operation, it does
create a performance hit.
