1.0) Why not make a static class variable named NIL, since nil() returns the same value all the time?

2) (I know this is off topic and I admit that I haven't researched the mailinglists for this one) If it's still going to remain a function, shouldn't it be static?

Oops: I thought "uuid nil()" was a method of class uuid. So the class I was talking about in 1) and 2) refer to class uuid. As for 2), now I'm wondering why this particular function is a namespace function and not a method (static) of class uuid? (I'll scrounge the mailing lists for an answer in the mean time).
