[issue32112] Should uuid.UUID() accept another UUID() instance?

Growing the size of the code and the documentation, complicating the mental model, slowing down all other cases, the risk of introducing bugs. This is the cost that we should pay for adding a new feature. The benefit of adding a feature should be larger than this cost. I'm not sure this is a case. But if you think it is worth, you can add it.

Note that by adding this feature you can open a can of worms and will need to add support of time(time), date(date), namedtuple(namedtuple), etc for the same reason, because some database drivers already do mapping for you.
