* In Representation: Is there a reason for a .to_string() member function instead of an operator std::string()? I.e., it reduces std::string s = u.to_string() to std::string s( u );

I tend to avoid implicit conversions. One can also use boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(uuid). Again, if this list wants operator std::string() and the like, I will add it.

I don't think an implicit conversion here would be a good idea. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
