I pushed these changes suggested by Dmitry Olshansky and Jonas
Drewsen:

* Add documentation table
* Rename UUID.isNil -->  UUID.empty
* Merge ParserException and IsufficientInputException into
   UUIDParserException
* Add note about std.variant.Variant
* Rewrite example to avoid cast
* Add non-working(commented out) variadic constructor
* Rename extractRegex -->  uuidRegex
* Use std.algorithm.swap instead of swapRanges

* parseUUID now supports InputRanges with ElementType == dchar (all
   string types are still supported as well)



* randomUUID now creates the RNG only once per thread.
* randomUUID lazily seeds the RNG once (per thread) on the first
   function call
* randomUUID now uses the new seed overload (requires
   https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/627 )
* the unsafe randomUUID overload taking only a type has been removed.


* Add changes suggested by Jonathan M Davis (see
   
https://github.com/jpf91/phobos/commit/91cd1c1f4385cfe1cd868c0720aff257d9436822
   )

Surely, a better way then making a global is to routinely check for zeros.

Plus, you can cast .ptr to size_t* and compare word by word in 4 or 2 
ops(!). You'd better watch out for __ctfe though, it deon't allow 
casting pointers this way.
