That might just work. A UUIDv4 is 128 bits, so it can be plugged in
wherever 128 bits of nonce are required. However this isn't always the
case, for example AES-GCM is commonly used with 96 bit nonces. Another
thing to consider is that the egg provides UUID4. UUID1 might be smarter
for a distributed setting as it has a machine-specific part.
