Certainly support for the GUID field type itself is most important.
As for the generators, though they are non-essential, they are very
useful.  Other platforms and libraries have standardized on uuid
generators, so I don't see why PostgreSQL can't.


Maybe I am oblivious to the reason, but why is there a need for a special
data type for GUID/UUIDs?  Wouldn't you always be doing an "equality"
anyways?  Wouldn't a varchar suffice?
