'Tight Code' JavaScript Helper Function to Validate UUIDv4 (RFC4122) Values
/*
Note: Yes, I know there are npm Packages that can do this, but it's
not always the best idea to drag a whole package including all it's
potential vulnerabilities around just for a simple task.

What is Tight Code?
'Tight Code' is a term used in software development to describe code that is efficient, both in terms of its conciseness and its performance.
Here are the characteristics of tight code:
1. Conciseness: Tight code often refers to code that is written in a concise way, meaning that it accomplishes its tasks with a minimal amount of code. It's all about doing more with less.
2. Performance: Tight code is also performance-optimized, meaning it runs quickly and doesn't consume unnecessary resources like memory or CPU cycles.
3. Readability: Despite being concise and efficient, tight code should still be easy to read and understand. This is essential for maintainability.
4. No Redundancies: Tight code should not have unnecessary repetitions or unused code blocks.
Remember, writing tight code doesn't mean making it so terse that it becomes difficult to read and understand.
Code readability and maintainability are crucial in software development.
In some cases, writing a few extra lines of code can be worth it if it makes your code easier for others (and your future self) to understand.
