No there is neither. We have an intid utility that guarantees System-wide 
unique ids. This utility is used at several places most notably the catalog.

You have to write your own utility to generate the UUID. I checked the RFC 
quickly and our IntIds are certainly not of the format requested by RFC 4122.
