/**
* Generate a ULID that monotonically increases even for the same millisecond,
* optionally passing the current time. If the current time is not passed, it
* will default to `Date.now()`.
*
* Unlike the {@linkcode ulid} function, this function is guaranteed to return
* strictly increasing ULIDs, even for the same seed time, but only if the seed
* time only ever increases. If the seed time ever goes backwards, the ULID will
* still be generated, but it will not be guaranteed to be monotonic with
* previous ULIDs for that same seed time.
*
* @example Generate a monotonic ULID
* ```ts no-assert
* import { monotonicUlid } from "@std/ulid";
*
* monotonicUlid(); // 01HYFKHG5F8RHM2PM3D7NSTDAS
* monotonicUlid(); // 01HYFKHG5F8RHM2PM3D7NSTDAT
* monotonicUlid(); // 01HYFKHHX8H4BRY8BYHAV1BZ2T
* ```
*
* @example Generate a monotonic ULID with a seed time
* ```ts no-assert
* import { monotonicUlid } from "@std/ulid";
*
* // Strict ordering for the same timestamp, by incrementing the least-significant random bit by 1
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1Q
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1R
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1S
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1T
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1U
*
* // A different timestamp will reset the random bits
* monotonicUlid(150001); // 0000004JFHJJ2Z7X64FN2B4F1P
*
* // A previous seed time will not guarantee ordering, and may result in a
* // ULID lower than one with the same seed time generated previously
* monotonicUlid(150000); // 0000004JFJ7XF6D76ES95SZR0X
* ```
*
* @param seedTime The time to base the ULID on, in milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Defaults to `Date.now()`.
* @returns A ULID that is guaranteed to be strictly increasing for the same seed time.
