   Returns the change stream cursor's ID.
   .. code-block:: php
      function getCursorId(): MongoDB\Driver\CursorId
Return Values
-------------
A :php:`MongoDB\\Driver\\CursorId <class.mongodb-driver-cursorid>` object.
Examples
--------
This example reports the cursor ID for a change stream.
.. code-block:: php
   <?php
   $uri = 'mongodb://rs1.example.com,rs2.example.com/?replicaSet=myReplicaSet';
   $collection = (new MongoDB\Client($uri))->test->inventory;
   $changeStream = $collection->watch();
   var_dump($changeStream->getCursorId());
The output would then resemble::
   object(MongoDB\Driver\CursorId)#5 (1) {
     ["id"]=>
     int(8462642181784669708)
   }
