Only because I'm not sure how to implement the time-based construction mechanism a portable way.
I'm not sure what is required but perhaps the newly sandboxed Chrono library can help here?
I will take a look at Chrono, it may help. The time-based construction ideally requires a MAC address, and I don't know how to get it portably.
Why not leaving the burden of retrieving the MAC address to the user, then?
That is a _really_ good idea! I will spend some time and take a serious look at implementing a time-based uuid generator.
