   *
   * ACE_UUID represents a Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) as
   * described in (the expired) INTERNET-DRAFT specification entitled
   * UUIDs and GUIDs. All instances of UUID are of the time-based
   * variety. That is, the version number part of the timeHiAndVersion
   * field is 1.
   *
   * The default constructor creates a nil UUID.
   *
   * UUIDs have value semantics. In addition, they may be compared for
   * ordering and equality.
   *
   * Additionally in this implementation provisions have been made to include
   * process and thread ids to make the UUIDs more unique. The variant 0xc0
   * has been added to facilitate this.
