We already have a great (version 4) UUID implementation called
mcrypt_create_iv, just minus the fixed sequences and fancy formatting.
Apart from moving this to core (not requiring mcrypt/openssl) and maybe
adding alphabet support, I don't immediately see why this wouldn't be
sufficient. Why do we need fancy UUID formatting or "unique hashes"
(whatever that is supposed to be...)?
