Doesn’t the type name uuid.UUID violate go’s style guide for type naming? I seem to recall a fairly specific prohibition on stutter-types.
replyRepeating the package name is fine if it's exactly the same name (modulo capitalization) and there's nothing better to name the type anyway. The style issue would arise with e.g. uuid.UUIDVersion, which should just be named uuid.Version. There used to be a gopls lint that would flag names like uuid.UUID but it got relaxed awhile ago.
replyNo. What else could it reasonably be named? Hard to imagine.
replyThe rule has always been intended to cover types that have another word in them but still choose to pointlessly repeat the package name.
`uuid.UUIDGenerator` is a hypothetical example of the anti-pattern that would instead be better named as `uuid.Generator`.

replyOcaml often just has it be T
so uuid.T
uuid.Entifier
replyYeah, I would have gone with uuid.V4 or something. But oh well, as long as it works. :D
replyV4 or V7 are just how you initialize them (constructor), but then this the same representation, so they don't need specific types.
