+NOTE: In this library, sequential UUIDs and ordering are more important than time precision and performance.
+We take a slight hit in both of those areas to ensure that the UUIDs are in order. For example, in the case of a
+backwards time leap, we continue with the previously used timestamp, and in the case of rollover, we increment
+the timestamp by one to ensure that the ordering is maintained.
