As documented in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/use_global_elements, the engine (by default) does a local namespace
lookup, then falls back to global namespace when first calling a global function referenced in namespaced code,
unless that function is referenced via fully qualified name (FQN).
By using the FQN, the actual symbol can be looked up at compile-time, both by the PHP engine and by static analysis
tooling, allowing for compiler (in particular) optimizations to replace known hot-path functions with specialized opcodes.
Sadly, no actual benchmark at hand: the improvements can be minimal or massive, depending on where this library is
used (tight loops being most relevant).
I realized, that 30% of the request time in our app is spent by
hydrating the uuid (We are using Doctrine and in this specific request
I was accidentally hydrating few thousands entities). Luckily, I
remembered the #160 and tried to do similar optimization for uuid
decoding. It resulted in 10-20% performance improvement.
Defers all environment related decisions to factory initialization
All behavior is customizable through DI, but all deps are initialized to proper default instances
Removes static factory configuration
Remove $littleEndian parameter
Add fromGuidString/Bytes factory methods for GUIDs
No longer possible to output GUIDs as UUIDs and vice-versa
Pass tests
