[plt-scheme] UUID Question

Dave gets the gold star and a 30 minute break from grading finals (making an
assumption about current NEU activities there). So here is the test output
for (what I hope is) the final version so you can see some of the other

Welcome to DrScheme, version 4.2.3 [3m].
Language: Module; memory limit: 2048 megabytes.
(make-uuid-1) = #<uuid 06d644d0-ea5c-11de-b1cf-001b779c76e3>

(uuid=? U4 namespace-DNS) = #f
(uuid<? U4 namespace-DNS) = #f
(uuid>? U4 namespace-DNS) = #t
