/// A last-write-wins register
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Any attempt to `add` a new element to this register will panic if the register's `timestamp` is
/// greater than `Instant::now()` (no time-traveling allowed) at the time of calling `add`:
///
/// ```should_panic
/// // this will panic
/// use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
/// use cvrdt_exposition::{Grow, LWWRegister};
/// let mut x = LWWRegister::new(('a', Instant::now() + Duration::from_secs(1729)));
/// x.add('b');
/// ```
///
/// # Difference from references
///
/// In the [comprehensive study paper](https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00555588/), timestamps are
/// unsigned integers, whereas we use
/// [`std::time::Instant`s](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Instant.html).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Example usage, including demonstrating some properties:
///
/// ```
/// use std::time::Instant;
/// use cvrdt_exposition::{Grow, LWWRegister};
/// let mut x = LWWRegister::new(('a', Instant::now()));
/// x.add('b');
/// x.add('c');
/// assert_eq!(x.query(&()), 'c');
/// let y = LWWRegister::new(('z', Instant::now()));
/// assert!(x.le(&y));
/// let z = x.merge(&y);
/// assert_eq!(y.merge(&x).payload(), z.payload());
/// assert_eq!(z.query(&()), 'z');
/// assert_eq!(z.payload().0, 'z');
/// ```
