Actually, I find pittsburgh's comment interesting. Nowadays every new piece of technology seems to offer HTTP and JSON support, but UUID support might be lacking, or its quality might be poor. Funnily enough that's the case for the Go standard library (compensated by an external module).

I could actually imagine someone trying to create UUIDs and not being bothered to implement that functionality correctly in their software.

I hope it'll never happen as relying on a third-party web service has really bad implications, but the world is ready now :)

FWIW, I added support for UUID sets in the API, so now one can ask for thousands UUIDs at once, if one ever needs to :)

As entertaining as this project has been for a few hours, it's time for me to move on.
