In PHP 7.0 we introduced random_bytes() which wraps Linux's getrandom(2)
as well as Windows's CryptGenRandom() and uses /dev/urandom as a fallback.
I think it would be great if we added a function that wraps
/proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid [2] and, if that exists, its equivalent on
Windows to make the generation of UUIDs easy.
Thoughts?
