Thanks for taking account my request. 

By the way, by looking more carefully your interface, I didn't see how to
have a reading access to the raw struct of the guid: attribute guid;;_data,
more precisely, to the raw data pointer: guid::_data.elems. This reading
access could be useful for low level access.  Does that make sense?
