def nice():
"""
Returns a randomly generated uuid v4 compliant slug which conforms to a set
of "nice" properties, at the cost of some entropy. Currently this means one
extra fixed bit (the first bit of the uuid is set to 0) which guarantees the
slug will begin with [A-Za-f]. For example such slugs don't require special
handling when used as command line parameters (whereas non-nice slugs may
start with `-` which can confuse command line tools).
Potentially other "nice" properties may be added in future to further
restrict the range of potential uuids that may be generated.
