I can't see what benefit there is in bringing UIIDs into
the picture.

If you're suggesting that people write the UUIDs directly
into their code as literals, that's *not* going to fly.
It would be appallingly ugly and error-prone.

The only way to make it usable would be to import the
UUIDs from somewhere under human-readable names. But then
there's no need to use UUIDs, any set of unique sentinel
objects will do.
