Adds lexicographically sortable timestamps to objects.
The following example places timestamps on objects. The object will have a key named 'key' and its value will be a lexicographically sortable timestamp.
var timestamp = ;var timestamper = timestamp;var JSONStream = ; var stringify = JSONStream; timestamper; timestamper;
Streams the following to stdout
{"value":"hello wisconsin","key":"0001427769510483.000000000"}
Notice the integer part has 16 characters with leading zeros and the fractional part has 9 characters. This format allows sortable references dating back to the 1970s.
