I guess that would be up to the client? Somewhat similar to the matter
of right aligning numeric values? Maybe I misunderstand?
The "display" of a UUID has to be stringified (same with IPv6).
Without that... no human can really make use of them. There are
methods for doing this, at least with UUID, but for the most part the
visual representation of these two forms is always in their string
form, not in their numeric form.
Maybe the 'computed columns' patch can be extended to do this? It
feels like it is partly similar functionality? (uttering this without
the benefit of experience or insight into that patch)
I was thinking that this might be the case as well. The hold back on
this has always been FRM. Once we even get the proto piece reading in
the code... this becomes pretty minor to do.
Cheers,
