It strikes me that it may be somewhat misleading to print UFIDs as
UUIDs, given that there are specific bits with particular meaning in
the UUID standards. One way to resolve this would be to tweak the UFID
generation to create variant 4 UUIDs ("random") by overwriting the
appropriate bits after hashing.
