Heyho!
The following line made me (somehow) expect to get the same instance of UUID as generated just before via "UUID new":
UUID fromString: '165fea06-1260-bf45-b6e2-43016456a4f8'.
:-D
Testing some object serialization (to/from Json) in combination with an IdentityKeyDictionary, I could not find the key, which is that UUID.
***
General question: Would UUID interning make sense? Could the UUID plugin do it? Do plugins have access to object memory?

Well I suppose there is just too many of them. :-) To put them in a registry you'd have to hold onto them. Having them dangling like now-unused Symbols would be bad.
If you can, I'd say use equality instead of identity.

yep, they're values. when 128-bit processors arrive, we can handle them natively :P -t

Don't combine JSON and IdentityKeyDictionary. You're in for some bad time™. Best regards -Tobias
