     '_s_t_r_i_n_g_R_e_p': Object of class '"character"' A human readable string

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     _s_t_r_i_n_g_R_e_p Retrieves the string representation of the UUID

     _u_u_i_d Retrieves the '"uuidt"' object

     _s_h_o_w Outputs the string representation of the UUID

     _a_s._c_h_a_r_a_c_t_e_r Returns the string representation of the UUID

     == Returns true if both arguments are 'Ruuid' objects and have the
          same string representation.

     != Returns true if both arguments are 'Ruuid' objects and have
          different string representations.
