! UNIQUE will return increasing integer numbers.
! The returned value will increase with one each jiffy
! (1/50 or 1/60 second).
! The returned value is a number in which bit 1-11 contains
! the day number since 1977-01-01 (mod 4096) and bit 12-35
! contains time of day in jiffies.
! The sequence will restart (from zero) every 4096th day
! (11 years and 81 days).
