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

I'll see what I can do. Is it OK to pretty much copy the Boost code, bar
D-ifying it a bit? The licence is identical, so this shouldn't be an issue AFAICS.

In the Boost C++ implementation it certainly accepts a range as input:
