The GUID type is non-Data Model type that represents a string of randomly generated characters that acts as a unique identifier. It is NOT part of the data model because of the reasons provided in this github issue: #1294.

- It is astronomically low to get a duplicate GUID (many thousands of years worth of time).
- All characters in the string are randomly generated, except for one character that has a
4. This represents the 4th version of the GUID system.
