An experimental implementation of the proposed UUID Version 7
```rust use uuid7::uuid7;
let uuid = uuid7(); println!("{}", uuid); // e.g. "01809424-3e59-7c05-9219-566f82fff672" println!("{:?}", uuid.as_bytes()); // as 16-byte big-endian array ```
See draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-03.
This implementation produces identifiers with the following bit layout:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| unix_ts_ms |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| unix_ts_ms | ver | counter |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|var| counter |

| rand |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
unix_ts_ms field is dedicated to the Unix timestamp in
milliseconds.ver field is set at 0111.counter field accommodates the sequence counter that ensures the
monotonic order of IDs generated within the same millisecond. The counter is
incremented by one for each new ID generated within the same timestamp and is
randomly initialized whenever the unix_ts_ms changes.var field is set at 10.rand bits are filled with a cryptographically strong random
number.In the very rare circumstances where the 42-bit counter field reaches the
maximum value and can no more be incremented within the same timestamp, this
library increments the unix_ts_ms; therefore, the unix_ts_ms may have a
larger value than that of the real-time clock. This library goes on with such
larger unix_ts_ms values caused by counter overflows and system clock
rollbacks as long as the difference from the system clock is small enough. If
the system clock moves back more than ten seconds, this library resets the
generator state and thus breaks the monotonic order of generated identifiers.
This library also supports the generation of UUID version 4:
```rust use uuid7::uuid4;
let uuid = uuid4(); println!("{}", uuid); // e.g. "2ca4b2ce-6c13-40d4-bccf-37d222820f6f" println!("{:?}", uuid.as_bytes()); // as 16-byte big-endian array ```
