This is what the 8.3 comment says:

/*
 * We allow UUIDs in three input formats: 8x-4x-4x-4x-12x,
 * {8x-4x-4x-4x-12x}, and 32x, where "nx" means n hexadecimal digits
 * (only the first format is used for output). We convert the first
 * two formats into the latter format before further processing.
