[Question] Automatic conversion into uuid.UUID?

Environment

swagger version: 0.29.0
go version: 1.17.6

Question

I am generating server code from swagger.yaml. The code makes intensive use of uuid.UUID (github.com/google/uuid), which is declared as [16]byte.

In the spec I use:

type: string
format: uuid

Which produces models with strfmt.UUID. This one is, however, essentially a string, which needs to be converted (parsed) into a proper UUID every time, with error handling and all the related ado.

Question: can this be somehow facilitated with a custom type or custom format or anything else, so that the generated models/endpoints use uuid.UUID (or a derived type) directly? Is there any example on how to do that? (I searched a lot but failed to find any.)

Anyone?

Maybe you can try x-go-type.
See example: https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger/blob/43c2774170504d87b104e3e4d68626aac2cd447d/examples/external-types/example-external-types.yaml#:~:text=additionalProperties%3A-,x%2Dgo%2Dtype%3A,alias%3A%20custom,-/stream%3A
