A recently published draft RFC proposes three new time-based UUID formats. The UUIDv1 is also time-based, but the timestamp is formatted little-endian, whereas the new formats use a big-endian format. This means the UUID's will naturally sort in order of time, which has several engineering advantages.

Because the RFC is still a draft, I wouldn't yet expect that UUID libraries can generate the new formats. I'd like to know if this library intends to implement them, however.

I thought it would be useful to create this issue, so we can see if:

• the new formats will be implemented in this library,
• if so, the status of the implementation (assumed to be after the RFC is published).
