gen_uuidv7() is OK
uuid-ossp is outdated, slow and not supported by the author. UUIDv7 is the
renaissance of UUIDs. So we should not depend on legacy technology names

Changing the name uuidv7() to uuid_v7() is a bad idea because the RFC 9562
uses the term UUIDv7, and therefore code containing uuid_v7() will not be found
by searching the web in most cases.
It makes much more sense to rename it to get_uuidv7(), so that a query for
"uuidv7" does not return a bunch of other unnecessary functions related to
UUIDv7.
Thank you for pointing it out. How about gen_uuidv7() and gen_uuidv4()
as we already have gen_random_uuid()?
