Identifier's methods signature

[dilitvinov]

Greetings

Tell me please, why methods of Identifier interface accept reflect.Value? There is no places where it is used how I can see.

You can search that keyword in Github, to see where it used.

  Lines 10 to 21 in 627121e

   var identifier Identifier 
    
   // GetIdentifier returns a new Identifier 
   func GetIdentifier() Identifier { 
   	mu.Lock() 
   	defer mu.Unlock() 
    
   	if identifier == nil { 
   		identifier = &UUID{} 
   	} 
   	return identifier 
   }

   ID:                    GetIdentifier().Digit, 
   HyphenatedID:          GetIdentifier().Hyphenated, 

This is legacy codes, I think it's since 2017 if you have a better approach, feel free to discuss it here.
