        // 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();
