// summary:
// This function generates random UUIDs, meaning "version 4" UUIDs.
// description:
// A typical generated value would be something like this:
// "3b12f1df-5232-4804-897e-917bf397618a"
//
// For more information about random UUIDs, see sections 4.4 and
// 4.5 of RFC 4122: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.4
//
// This generator function is designed to be small and fast,
// but not necessarily good.
//
// Small: This generator has a small footprint. Once comments are
// stripped, it's only about 25 lines of code, and it doesn't
// dojo.require() any other modules.
//
// Fast: This generator can generate lots of new UUIDs fairly quickly
// (at least, more quickly than the other dojo UUID generators).
//
// Not necessarily good: We use Math.random() as our source
// of randomness, which may or may not provide much randomness.
// examples:
// var string = dojox.uuid.generateRandomUuid();
var HEX_RADIX = 16;

// Make random32bitNumber be a randomly generated floating point number
// between 0 and (4,294,967,296 - 1), inclusive.
