// summary:
// This function generates random UUIDs, meaning "version 4" UUIDs.
// description:
// A typical generated value would be something like this:
// "3b12f1df-5232-4804-897e-917bf397618a"
// returnType: The type of object to return. Usually String or dojo.uuid.Uuid
// examples:
// var string = dojo.uuid.RandomGenerator.generate();
// var string = dojo.uuid.RandomGenerator.generate(String);
// var uuid = dojo.uuid.RandomGenerator.generate(dojo.uuid.Uuid);
