Comment (by westonruter):

 Replying to [comment:3 dlh]:
 > Having implemented essentially the same thing on more than one project,
 I personally would value the function in the patch being made available in
 core generally. What kind of case would need to be made for that to
 happen?

 Like a `wp_unique_id()` function added to `functions.php`? I like that. We
 would just need to differentiate it from being a ''universially'' unique
 ID, which is what `wp_generate_uuid4()` is for.
