> ...at least, to me, seems to indicate that the returned UUID:s are wrapped with {}. I would expect such a call to return the bare, unwrapped string representation of the UUID. Same for the example with zuuid:binary. Or have I misunderstood your intentions with the library or the definition of a UUID?

I'm so used to dealing with UUIDs formatted by databases that I didn't
really notice. Indeed, there is a mix of representations output by various
UUID tools in different environments (most of the Erlang UUID libs output
standard unbracketed strings). I've added string/2 and binary/2 to make the
choice explicit.

Thanks for catching that.
