STD.System.Log.generateGloballyUniqueID ()

The generateGloballyUniqueID returns a globally unique identifier (GUID) with base58 encoding. Base58 encoding is similar to base64 encoding but avoids both non-alphanumeric characters and visually ambiguous letters. It is designed to avoid errors by human users who manually enter the data by copying from some visual source. It allows easy copy/paste because a double-click will usually select the entire string.
