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).
