		// For reference, OpenTelemetry [1] uses crypto/rand to seed

		// cryptography. While it might be debatable whether those
		// properties are important for us here, again, we're taking the
		// safer path.
		//
		// See [2a] & [2b] for a discussion of some of the properties we
		// obtain by using crypto/rand and [3a] & [3b] for why we avoid
		// math/rand.
		//
		// Because the math/rand seed has only 64 bits (int64), if the

		// TraceID, there are only 2^64 possible values. Compared to
		// UUID v4 that have 122 random bits, there is a much greater
