051   * Terminology: a source sends a message to a target.
052   * Example sources are Tasks or Contexts. Example targets are Drivers.
053   *
054   * The method guarantees that sequence numbers increase strictly monotonically per message source.
055   * So numbers of messages from different sources should not be compared to each other.
056   *
057   * Clients of this method must not assume any particular method implementation
058   * because it may change in the future.
059   *
060   * The current implementation returns the timestamp of a heartbeat that contained the message.
061   * A heartbeat may contain several messages; all such message will get the same sequence number.
062   * A source can attach only one message to a single heartbeat, so the strict sequence number monotonicity
063   * per source is guaranteed.
