    /**	Object ID type.
        BSON objects typically have an _id field for the object id.  This field should be the first 
        member of the object when present.  class OID is a special type that is a 12 byte id which 
        is likely to be unique to the system.  You may also use other types for _id's.
        When _id field is missing from a BSON object, on an insert the database may insert one 
        automatically in certain circumstances.

        Warning: You must call OID::newState() after a fork().

        Typical contents of the BSON ObjectID is a 12-byte value consisting of a 4-byte timestamp (seconds since epoch), 
        a 3-byte machine id, a 2-byte process id, and a 3-byte counter. Note that the timestamp and counter fields must 
        be stored big endian unlike the rest of BSON. This is because they are compared byte-by-byte and we want to ensure 
        a mostly increasing order.
