> With the intention of using the provided `UUIDConversion` class on string fields set with the logicalType `uuid`. However, it seems like having `stringType` specified as 'String' means the converter is ignored.
> If I comment out the line `<stringType>String</stringType>` then the converter is used as expected and the java classes have `UUID` types for those fields, but obviously all normal strings are now `CharSequence` objects.
