I agree it's confusing. Before I studied the RFC 4122bis project, I
didn't even know about variant vs. version. I think overall people will
find this more confusing than useful. If you just want to know, "is
this UUID of the kind specified in RFC 4122", you can query it with
uuid_extract_version(x) IS NOT NULL. So maybe we don't need the
_extract_variant function?
