[Vortex] Question about ausage pattern

Is there any way you can see changing the message-number from an integer to a unique GUID? It sure would make my life easier in regards to mapping data to frames!

Hi Jens, yes this sounds like a good idea. Because the combination
channel/message-number is unique no clash between threads can happen.

Isn't this such a fundamental function that it should be included into the
Vortex library?
