class Foundation_API UUID
	/// A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time,
	/// with respect to the space of all UUIDs. Since a UUID is a fixed
	/// size and contains a time field, it is possible for values to
	/// rollover (around A.D. 3400, depending on the specific algorithm
	/// used). A UUID can be used for multiple purposes, from tagging
	/// objects with an extremely short lifetime, to reliably identifying
	/// very persistent objects across a network.
	/// This class implements a Universal Unique Identifier,
	/// as specified in Appendix A of the DCE 1.1 Remote Procedure
	/// Call Specification (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629399/),
	/// RFC 2518 (WebDAV), section 6.4.1 and the UUIDs and GUIDs internet
	/// draft by Leach/Salz from February, 1998 
	/// (http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/webdav/uuid-guid/draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt)
	/// and also
	/// http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mealling-uuid-urn-03.txt
