This would add a reasonable amount of extra code to the standard ROM
builds, which I don't think can easily be justified by the benefit.
You can work around the absence of parse_uuid_setting() by setting
uuid:hexraw, e.g.
set uuid:hexraw 1a6a749d0eda461aa87a7cfe4fca4a57
One possible option would be to allow hex_decode() to treat the
separator character as optional, and then treat :uuid as a variation on
:hexhyp for parsing purposes.
Another potential problem is that there is no universal agreement on the
endianness of UUIDs. I suspect that the use of :hexraw might be the
cleanest overall solution.
Thanks,
Michael
