Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Per https://www.fixtrading.org/groups/continuousmkts/
Sequence number resets are a bore.

Describe the solution you'd like
The implementation proposed is to use an unsigned 64 bit integer for a sequence number.

Using 1 billion sequence numbers per second, that will last for 584 years until they run out.

So we can leave the problem to our great, great, great (more) grandchildren to solve!

Describe alternatives you've considered
