Description
Following this exchange: https: twitter.com/niv_anteru/status/487496938150195200
A platform-specific random generator would apparently be far more efficient (I say apparently because I didn't know there were platform-specific uuid generation until I read this tweet).

I am resolving this as fixed. https://github.com/boostorg/uuid/pull/21 proves you can use boost::random::random_device which satisfies your request. This is likely fixed much earlier than the milestone I am going to set (1.66) based on the commit of that unit test change.
