monotonic-timestamp

Monotonically increasing timestamp.

This is NOT a accurate representation of the time.
Since js only measures time as ms, if you call Date.now()
twice quickly, it's possible to get two identical time stamps.

monotonic-timestamp fixes that problem! (crudely)

Example

`` js
var timestamp = require('monotonic-timestamp')

console.log(timestamp())
console.log(timestamp())
console.log(timestamp())
console.log(timestamp())
console.log(timestamp())

`

subsequent calls to timestamp() are ALWAYS strictly ordered.

byte optimizations

My precious bytes! wasted on your timestamp!

pack it into a string!
` js
timestamp().toString(36)
``

if you want a constant-length string, you can use monotonic-timestamp-base36

of course, if you are using a binary protocol,
it will be cheaper to use the float...
