What | |
| This is to receive a general purpose unique identifier.
It is guaranteed that the same number will not be issued ever again.
Every time a number is requested it is incremented by 1.
It is done with arbitrary-precision (bignum) arithmetic
and single service access. |
| |
Why | |
| The unique number can be used as a unique identifier across different
fields. A unique number attached to an item
will never be confused with another item number of whatever field it can be.
Apart from that, this number is
the lowest unique number. |
