Sponsored issue: Incremental UUID

[Anushka7310]

I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows for the generation of incremental IDs using the UUID library. Currently, the project supports UUID generation, but it doesn't provide an option for generating sequential or incremental IDs.

This feature would be particularly useful in scenarios where it's necessary to have both the uniqueness of UUIDs and the sequential ordering of IDs, such as in database records.

What you're describing is the new UUID v7 format. See #681

Please be aware that to the extent you need IDs with characteristics that fall outside of RFC4122, you'll need to look elsewhere for a solution. This project deals only with RFC4122 UUIDs.
