Thanks! Now everything seems on its place.

I want to include in the patch following tests:
-- extract UUID v1, v6 and v7 timestamp
SELECT uuid_extract_time('C232AB00-9414-11EC-B3C8-9F6BDECED846') = 'Tuesday, February 22, 2022 2:22:22.00 PM
GMT+05:00';
SELECT uuid_extract_time('1EC9414C-232A-6B00-B3C8-9F6BDECED846') = 'Tuesday, February 22, 2022 2:22:22.00 PM
GMT+05:00';
SELECT uuid_extract_time('017F22E2-79B0-7CC3-98C4-DC0C0C07398F') = 'Tuesday, February 22, 2022 2:22:22.00 PM
GMT+05:00';

How do you think, will it be stable all across buildfarm? Or should we change anything to avoid false positives
inferredfrom different timestamp parsing?

Thanks for the review.
Well, that was intentional. But now I see it's kind of confusing behaviour. I've changed it to more expected version.

Also, I've added some documentation on all functions.
