Detailed Description

Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) support.

This file provides a wrapper around the third-party UUID library, offering type aliases and utility functions for generating and manipulating UUIDs (RFC 4122). UUIDs are 128-bit identifiers designed to be unique across space and time, suitable for distributed systems without central coordination.
