Implement NullUUID

[pmalekn]

In order to allow uuid.UUID to work with the standard sql package to represent a UUID value that can be NULL in the database I suggest to implement a NullUUID the same way as
it's done in http://github.com/satori/go.uuid [1]

Looking at the code it appears that NullUUID can actually be implemented outside of the uuid package itself. Have you considered making a simple package that provides this type?

[pmalekn]

Ha! Didn't think about this obvious solution.
Still it would be nice to implement it in here to make it more idiomatic.
Instead of importing a separate package and calling a type e.g. null.UUID we could use the very same package that defines the uuid.UUID and use the type as uuid.Null.

I'd be happy to submit a PR basing the work on satori's implementation.

This issue seems to be fixed, am I wrong?

Should be able to close this one

Just as I've stumbled across this personally as well, FYI there is a generic sql.Null[T].

Looks like #76 solved this and this change got released in 1.3.0: https://github.com/google/uuid/releases/tag/v1.3.0 🎉
