Remarks
This property returns all 4 bits as-is. If you only care about fewer bits of the variant field, see RFC 9562 for information on how to interpret the result.
For example, [the UUIDv7 standard](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9562.html#uuidv7) might only want to consider the two most significant bits of the field, as the least two significant bits are documented as "don't-care".
