In the past, requests for the ability to parse/unparse UUIDs have been closed with a referral to https://www.npmjs.com/package/uuid-parse

I am aware and agree that this use case is relatively uncommon when compared to the overall use of UUIDs. However, this module is now archived with a notice that "This module is no longer maintained"

It is not even possible to file an issue or view issues on that project which makes it unfit for safe usage. My preference would be for the functionality to simply be merged into this package. However, given the strong reluctance to do that in the past, perhaps uuidjs could take over management of that module or host the same functionality in a new module?
