this can be used to add a unique identifier to compare instances.
sine there are 2^64-1 possible values, you can safely assume that these are in fact unique. Assuming one unique id is consumed every nanosecond, it would take more than 500 years before we run out of values (2^64/10^9/3600/24/365.25).
