Hi! Thanks for the patch!

Just a minor on assert in test, LGTM if resolved similar to uuid patch.

Same as previos patch with uuid. I refer to the
https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/reference/reference_lua/tap/#tap-example <https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/reference/reference_lua/tap/#tap-example>
perhaps I miss something?
