Remarks
CreateUniqueID returns whether Prefix is a unique identifier in the collection of code elements. If the second argument, NewName, is supplied, then it returns a unique name based on Prefix as a prefix (possibly the same characters with no additional characters). The return value, however, always returns whether Prefix is unique, regardless of whether the second argument is supplied.
