Do I have to pick only one? I'd choose firstly for:
1c) UUID, with only encode/decode/indexable - generic except for the name of the type, and the encoding format.
2a) In core first
And in addation to that:
1b) UUID, with only basic generation functions + encode/decode/indexable
2b) In contrib first.
And maybe finally:
1a) UUID, with all functions
2c) In pgfoundry first.
IOW, I'm not so convinced that full UUID support should appear in core,
but I think a 16-byte type should be available in core, with basic UUID
functions in contrib and the full suite on pgfoundry.
But that's just my opinion ofcourse.
Have a nice day,
