Binary::uuidAsString Method (PAR 62807)

When calling the Binary primitive type uuidAsString method, to be a valid Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), the binary should be 16 bytes. If it is less than 16 bytes, the value will be internally padded with zero bytes on the end, to make it 16 bytes long before the conversion is performed.

If it is longer than 16 bytes, exception 1091 (Binary too long) is raised.
