CQL3 UUID type does not work

[micahnz]

When using the "uuid" column type with CQL3 there is no way to provide a uuid using the arguments because anything provided including the UUID object is escaped.

can you provide an example, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Also, we are in the midst of re-writing the entire CQL portion of the driver, so this may soon be addressed.

conn.cql('INSERT INTO table (uuid) VALUES (?), [e988aea0-9682-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66], ...)
//becomes INSERT INTO table (uuid) VALUES ('e988aea0-9682-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66')
//instead of INSERT INTO table (uuid) VALUES (e988aea0-9682-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66)

UUID's are escaped in escapeCQL() and Cassandra reports an error because it expects UUIDs to not be in single quotes. This also includes when using the helenus UUID object because objects call toString and then are escaped.

I added these to the escape function to get it working for the time being.

  if (typeof val === 'string' && val.match(/\w{8}\-\w{4}\-\w{4}\-\w{4}\-\w{12}/)) {
      return val;
  }

  if (typeof val === 'object' && typeof val.hex) {
      return val.toString();
  }

Confirm issue.
