Forgive what may be the unintelligible ramblings of an ignorant hobbyist,
but, if I am not mistaken, the Mersenne Twister implementation in std.random
currently can be seeded only with a 32-bit unsigned integer, which I presume
gives it 2^32 starting points, whereas I believe there should also b

Of course I meant &q
Regarding the mass production of random UUIDs, I believe that one would have
to provide a seed that was at least 128 bits (or 16 ubyteS) wide in order to
have uniform probability of generating any one random UUID from the entire
set of 2^128 possible values. (If I read the following web page
