Since you added go.mod to repo I had to change it to point to my own repo, otherwise I wasn't be able to use it. Keep in mind that you need to change it back.

Thanks. Not sure if this gonna be merged, but you can use either my repo (https://github.com/inliquid/uuid) or fork it for yourself. Note, that if you are using modules, you have to run go get github.com/<repo>@<commit_id> to grab latest changes and update go.mod of your project, because there is no version tag, and it won't be updated automatically.

Sorry for the delay in response. This change will create an extra dependency for every package that includes the uuid package. Since uuids have a very fixed form, it would be better to just generate the encoded version directly and not use the extra package. I am a little concerned that we will end up adding marshalling/unmarshalling for every various type of encoding.

Another approach to supporting UUIDs for BSON directly in your client project is to use the RegisterTypeEncoder functions, example here: https://github.com/looplab/eventhorizon/blob/main/codec/bson/uuid.go
