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.

• faker/uuid.go

  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
  	}

  Lines 205 to 206 in 627121e

  	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.
