I'm aware of that, of course. Guid is intentionally named differently from "uuid" (both as a package and as a type) to ensure there is no confusion between them in code. It is not the goal of Guid to mimic/inherit all uuid APIs. Guid is its own package, with a different API surface and roadmap (ie. I'll borrow what makes sense and do things differently when it makes sense).

The spec uses both UUID and GUID. You can expect the same thing for both.

> This specification defines UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifiers) -- also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifiers) -- and a Uniform Resource Name namespace for UUIDs.
