Why would you ever want a UUID in the form of a number array?
See original GitHub issueIn the latest release: version 2.0.0, the type signature of the return parameter in the v4 UUID function changed from string to string | number[]. Why? I’m curious what use case would require the UUID to be represented as a number array? As the change in the return signature is breaking for typescript projects that depend on the typed return signature. (which could be interpreted from the major release bump)
