 The library comes with several `QueryRepresentable` conformances to aid in representing dates,
 UUIDs, and JSON, and you can define your own conformances for your own custom data types.
 
-#### Dates
-
-While some relational databases, like MySQL and Postgres, have native support for dates, SQLite
-does _not_. Instead, it has 3 different ways to represent dates:
-
-  * Text column interpreted as ISO-8601-formatted string.
-  * Int column interpreted as number of seconds since Unix epoch.
-  * Double column interpreted as a Julian day (number of days since November 24, 4713 BC).
-
-Because of this ambiguity, the `@Table` macro does not know what you intend when you define a data
-type like this:
-
-```swift
-@Table struct Reminder {
-  let id: Int
-  var date: Date  // 🛑 'Date' column requires a query representation
-}
-```
-
-In order to make it explicit how you expect to turn a `Date` into a type that SQLite understands
-(_i.e._ text, integer, or double) you can use the `@Column` macro with the `as:` argument. The
-library comes with 3 strategies out the box to help, ``Foundation/Date/ISO8601Representation`` for
-storing the date as a string, ``Foundation/Date/UnixTimeRepresentation`` for storing the date as an
-integer, and ``Foundation/Date/JulianDayRepresentation`` for storing the date as a floating point
-number.
-
-Any of these representations can be used like so:
-
-```swift
-@Table struct Reminder {
-  let id: Int
-  @Column(as: Date.ISO8601Representation.self)
-  var date: Date
-}
-```
-
-And StructuredQueries will take care of formatting the value for the database:
-
-@Row {
-  @Column {
-    ```swift
-    Reminder.insert(
-      Reminder.Draft(date: Date())
-    )
-    ```
-  }
-  @Column {
-    ```sql
-    INSERT INTO "reminders"
-      ("date")
-    VALUES
-      ('2018-01-29 00:08:00.000')
-    ```
-  }
-}
-
-When querying against a date column with a Swift date, you will need to explicitly bundle up the
-Swift date into the appropriate representation to use various query helpers. This can be done using
-the `#bind` macro:
-
-```swift
-Reminder.where { $0.created > #bind(startDate) }
-```
-
-#### UUID
-
-SQLite also does not have native support for UUIDs. If you try to use a UUID in your tables you
-will get an error:
-
-```swift
-@Table struct Reminder {
-  let id: UUID  // 🛑 'UUID' column requires a query representation
-  var title = ""
-}
-```
-
-To use such identifiers in your table you can store the column as a data blob, and then you can
-use the ``Foundation/UUID/BytesRepresentation`` column representation:
-
-```swift
-@Table struct Reminder {
-  @Column(as: UUID.BytesRepresentation.self)
-  let id: UUID
-  var title = ""
-}
-```
-
-Alternatively you can store the column as text and use either
-``Foundation/UUID/LowercasedRepresentation`` or ``Foundation/UUID/UppercasedRepresentation`` to
-translate the UUID to text:
-
-```swift
-@Table struct Reminder {
-  @Column(as: UUID.LowercasedRepresentation.self)
-  let id: UUID
-  var title = ""
-}

+#### Default representations for dates and UUIDs
+
+While some relational databases, like MySQL and Postgres, have native types for dates and UUIDs,
+SQLite does _not_, and instead can represent them in a variety of ways. In order to lessen the
+friction of building queries with dates and UUIDs, the library has decided to provide a default
+representation for dates and UUIDs, and if that choice does not fit your schema you can explicitly
+specify the representation you want.
+
+##### Dates
+
+Dates in SQLite have 3 different representations:
+
+  * Text column interpreted as ISO-8601-formatted string.
+  * Int column interpreted as number of seconds since Unix epoch.
+  * Double column interpreted as a Julian day (number of days since November 24, 4713 BC).
+
+By default, StructuredQueries will bind and decode dates as ISO-8601 text. If you want the library
+to use a different representation (_i.e._ integer or double), you can provide an explicit query
+representation to the `@Column` macro's `as:` argument. ``Foundation/Date/UnixTimeRepresentation``
+will store the date as an integer, and ``Foundation/Date/JulianDayRepresentation`` will store the
+date as a floating point number.
+
+For example:
+
+```swift
+@Table struct Reminder {
+  let id: Int
+  @Column(as: Date.UnixTimeRepresentation.self)
+  var date: Date
+}
+```
+
+And StructuredQueries will take care of formatting the value for the database:
+
+@Row {
+  @Column {
+    ```swift
+    Reminder.insert(
+      Reminder.Draft(date: Date())
+    )
+    ```
+  }
+  @Column {
+    ```sql
+    INSERT INTO "reminders"
+      ("date")
+    VALUES
+      (1517184480)
+    ```
+  }
+}
+
+If you use the non-default date representation in your schema, then while querying against a 
+date column with a Swift Date, you will need to explicitly bundle up the Swift date into the 
+appropriate representation to use various query helpers. This can be done using the `#bind` macro:
+
+```swift
+Reminder.where { $0.created > #bind(startDate) }
+```
+
+> Note: When using the default representation for dates (ISO-8601 text) you do not need to use
+> the `#bind` macro:
+> 
+> ```swift
+> Reminder.where { $0.created > startDate }
+> ```
+
+##### UUIDs
+
+SQLite also does not have type-level support for UUIDs. By default, the library will bind and decode
+UUIDs as lowercased, hexadecimal text, but it also provides custom representations. This includes
+``Foundation/UUID/UppercasedRepresentation`` for uppercased text, as well as
+``Foundation/UUID/BytesRepresentation`` for raw bytes.
+
+To use such custom representations, you can provide it to the `@Column` macro's `as:` parameter:
+
+```swift
+@Table struct Reminder {
+  @Column(as: UUID.BytesRepresentation.self)
+  let id: UUID
+  var title = ""
+}
+```
+
+If you use the non-default UUID representation in your schema, then while querying against a UUID
+column with a Swift UUID, you will need to explicitly bundle up the Swift UUID into the appropriate
+representation to use various query helpers. This can be done using
+the `#bind` macro:
+
+```swift
+Reminder.where { $0.id != #bind(reminder.id) }
+```
+
+> Note: When using the default representation for UUID (lower-cased text) you do not need to use
+> the `#bind` macro:
+> 
+> ```swift
+> Reminder.where { $0.id != reminder.id }
+> ```
