UUID.Variant

RFC 4122 defines different internal data layouts for UUIDs. These are the UUID formats supported by this module. It's possible to read, compare and use all these Variants, but UUIDs generated by this module will always be in rfc4122 format.

Note: Do not confuse this with std._variant._Variant.
