The RFC4122 specification defines UUIDs as being in network byte order, but an unfortunately significant amount of (mostly Microsoft) software treats them as having the first three fields in little-endian byte order. In an ideal world, any server-side software that compares UUIDs for equality would perform an endian-insensitive comparison (analogous to comparing strings for equality using a case-insensitive comparison), and would therefore not care about byte order differences. Define a setting type name ":guid" to allow a UUID setting to be formatted in little-endian order, to simplify interoperability with server-side software that expects such a formatting.
