Would it be welcomed in this community if a patch for built-in UUID 
generation functions are provided?  (I'm not saying I can provide them 
soon.)  According to the following page, Linux has libuuid.so.  Microsoft 
provides UuidCreate() as a Win32 API.  I don't know about other UNIXes.

MySQL, Oracle (and perhaps other DBMSs) offer UUID generation functions.  I 
feel it convenient if I can use that function as the default value for a 
column.
