constexpr uuid from string

[tobias-loew]

Hi,
while searching for constexpr GUID from string generators, I found https://gist.github.com/AlexBAV/b58e92d7632bae5d6f5947be455f796f
which inspired me to generate a C++11 consexpr version plus boost-uuid generators.
If you're interested, please have a look at https://github.com/tobias-loew/constexpr-GUID-cpp-11

It's an interesting concept, although my assumption is the vast majority of uuid-from-string comes from variable input at runtime, not compile-time?

My use-case are e.g. windows CLSIDs and other fixed uuid that are statically compiled into the program. Here you can get the benefits of consistency checks at compile-time.

Okay that makes sense. Thanks.
