   This would be good to make a canonical extension type, given there are many integration points for it:
   
    * It is a logical type in Parquet
    * It is a logical type in many databases, who may return it in Flight
    * Arrow-native and arrow compatible engines (such as DuckDB) have UUID as a datatype and could exchange that over the C data interface.
   
   This seems like a good candidate to prototype spreading a canonical extension type through the ecosystem, given how simple and ubiquitous is it.
   
   I may look into this in about a month, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
