I think this phrase is outdated: "This function can optionally accept a timestamp used instead of current time.
This allows implementation of k-way sotable identifiers."
This phrase is wrong: "Both functions return a version 4 (random) UUID."
For this phrase the reason is unclear and the phrase is most likely incorrect:
if large batches of UUIDs are generated at the
+ same time it's possible that some UUIDs will store a time that is slightly later
+ than their actual generation time
