Hi Philipp,

Thank you for sending the patch!

Technically the patch looks fine, but after thinking about it, I'm -1 on
committing this.  The UID isn't exposed in any other way, and generally
isn't interesting to users.  If we expose it in the index_format it
opens up questions of limiting, sorting, etc.

As always, I'd appreciate comments from the other devs on this.
