11 * Generate a random uuid.
13 * USAGE: Math.uuid(length, radix)
14 * length - the desired number of characters
15 * radix - the number of allowable values for each character.
18 * // No arguments - returns RFC4122, version 4 ID
20 * "92329D39-6F5C-4520-ABFC-AAB64544E172"
22 * // One argument - returns ID of the specified length
23 * >>> Math.uuid(15) // 15 character ID (default base=62)
26 * // Two arguments - returns ID of the specified length, and radix. (Radix must be <= 62)
27 * >>> Math.uuid(8, 2) // 8 character ID (base=2)
29 * >>> Math.uuid(8, 10) // 8 character ID (base=10)
31 * >>> Math.uuid(8, 16) // 8 character ID (base=16)
