/**
 * \brief Generic "sequence number" class
 *
 * This class can be used to handle sequence numbers.  In networking
 * protocols, sequence numbers are fixed precision integer numbers
 * that are used to order events relative to each other.  A sequence
 * number is expected to increase over time but, since it has a
 * limited number of bits, the number will "wrap around" from the
 * maximum value that can represented with the given number of bits
 * back to zero.  For this reason, comparison of two sequence numbers,
 * and subtraction, is non-trivial.  The SequenceNumber class behaves
 * like a number, with the usual arythmetic operators implemented, but
 * knows how to correctly compare and subtract sequence numbers.
 *
 * This is a templated class.  To use it you need to supply two
 * fundamental types as template parameters: NUMERIC_TYPE and
 * SIGNED_TYPE.  For instance, SequenceNumber<uint32_t, int32_t> gives
 * you a 32-bit sequence number, while SequenceNumber<uint16_t,
 * int16_t> is a 16-bit one.  For your convenience, these are
 * typedef'ed as SequenceNumber32 and SequenceNumber16, respectively.
