/**
 * A better UUID class for JavaScript.
 *
 * UUID are represented as bytes (`Uint8Array`) and converted to strings on-demand.
 *
 * This class implements `toString` and `toJSON` for better language integration,
 * as well as inspection for node and Deno for a better development experience.
 *
 * For the most part, `UUID` can be used where  UUID strings are used,
 * except for equality checks. For those cases, `UUID` provides quick access
 * to the string representations via the `id` field.
