/**
 * Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), a 128 bit label used to uniquely identify resources.
 * The default is Nil UUID, where all bits are set to 0, see {@link UUID.nil}.
 * Also known as GUID ( Globally Unique IDentifier).
 *
 * @see IETF RFC 4122 - https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122
 * @example
 *  class Student{
 *      id: UUID
 *      name: string
 *      age: number
 *  }
 * @example
 *  const id_a = UUID.v1();
 *  const id_b = UUID.v1();
 *
 *  id_a.equals(id_b); // false
