I have successfully opened a document w/o additional UUID at the end of URI.
I think you may drop it.

Side note: `git grep ...` is much faster and better.
% git grep -n -w '#define[^"/]\+[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+' -- drivers/ include/
arch/ | wc -l
47

+ DRM, yes.

In any case...

...somewhat like above would be better. But your freedom is defined by
maintainers (not by me), so wait for their comments.

Your IDE is buggy :-)
Yes, there is a benefit of doing this, at some point compiler
complains about switches that don't cover all cases.

But if not, it will be a bulk of several lines of code which is the
bait for all kinds of janitors and clean up scripts (I saw that IRL,
so it's not unrealistic). In that case it will be twice the churn.
