Provide a UUID in edittemplate templates.
I want to make GUIDs for my RSS feeds that don't change when I move
pages around. To that end, I've used UUID::Tiny to generate a
version 4 (random) UUID that is presented in a `uuid` variable in
the template.
At that point, you can do something like this:
[[!meta guid="urn:uuid:<TMPL_VAR uuid>"]]
