      Currently, the UUID() method creates binary data with subtype 3, which is deprecated.

      > UUID('0123456789abcdeffedcba9876543210')
BinData(3,"ASNFZ4mrze/+3LqYdlQyEA==")
>

      Subtype 4 should be used, and we should ensure that the generated UUID is compliant with RFC 4122. See DOCS-1543 and related driver tickets (e.g. Java, C#, and Python) for additional information.
