xDxD I see that the PostgreSQL developers have sense of humor :) I
like it.
It has been a failure mine. I question about that in the IRC, anybody
says me that structure but also say me of see here:
pgsql/src/backend/utils/adt/uuid.c:45:uuid_out
thing that I didn't make.
But it's clear that this problem has been well resolved.
