Would it make any sense for uuid::create() to just use the OS's function, for OSes that can create uuids? (ie most OSes).

The OS API on windows creates time-based uuids (I don't know about other OSs, but expect the same). The uuid::create() function creates random-number-based uuids. I do not want to mix these. In the future, I would like the uuid library to be able to create time-based uuids. I believe that calling OS funtions is a good solution for that. < snip > Andy.
