+ // This function generates random UUIDs, meaning "version 4" UUIDs.
+ // description:
+ // A typical generated value would be something like this:
+ // "3b12f1df-5232-4804-897e-917bf397618a"
+ //
+ // For more information about random UUIDs, see sections 4.4 and
+ // 4.5 of RFC 4122: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.4
+ //
+ // This generator function is designed to be small and fast,
+ // but not necessarily good.
+ //
+ // Small: This generator has a small footprint. Once comments are
+ // stripped, it's only about 25 lines of code, and it doesn't
+ // dojo.require() any other modules.
+ //
+ // Fast: This generator can generate lots of new UUIDs fairly quickly
+ // (at least, more quickly than the other dojo UUID generators).
+ //
+ // Not necessarily good: We use Math.random() as our source
+ // of randomness, which may or may not provide much randomness.
+ // examples:
+ // var string = dojox.uuid.generateRandomUuid();
+ var HEX_RADIX = 16;
