/// To quote the [`rmw` documentation][1]:
///
/// > The identifier uniquely identifies the publisher for the local context, but
/// > it will not necessarily be the same identifier given in other contexts or processes
/// > for the same publisher.
/// > Therefore the identifier will uniquely identify the publisher within your application
/// > but may disagree about the identifier for that publisher when compared to another
/// > application.
/// > Even with this limitation, when combined with the publisher sequence number it can
/// > uniquely identify a message within your local context.
/// > Publisher GIDs generated by the RMW implementation could collide at some point, in which
/// > case it is not possible to distinguish which publisher sent the message.
/// > The details of how GIDs are generated are RMW implementation dependent.
/// >
/// > It is possible the the RMW implementation needs to reuse a publisher GID,
/// > due to running out of unique identifiers or some other constraint, in which case
/// > the RMW implementation may document what happens in that case, but that
/// > behavior is not defined here.
/// > However, this should be avoided, if at all possible, by the RMW implementation,
/// > and should be unlikely to happen in practice.
