    Description

      Since $convert doesn't work with BinData types, and there are no helper functions for binary data, nor for UUID in particular, it's very difficult to do something like converting UUID that's stored as a string to a proper BinData format.

      Example: I have string "867dee52-c331-484e-92d1-c56479b8e67e" and I want to have UUID("867dee52-c331-484e-92d1-c56479b8e67e") which is BinData(4, "hn3uUsMxSE6S0cVkebjmfg==") and there doesn't seem to be a way to do that server-side.
