* An SDL_GUID is a 128-bit identifier.
*
* This is an acronym for "Globally Unique ID."
*
* While a GUID can be used to assign a unique value to almost anything, in
* SDL these are largely used to identify input devices across runs of SDL
* programs on the same platform.If the device is detached and then
* re-attached to a different port, or if the base system is rebooted, the
* device should still report the same GUID.
*
* GUIDs are as precise as possible but are not guaranteed to distinguish
* physically distinct but equivalent devices. For example, two game
* controllers from the same vendor with the same product ID and revision may
* have the same GUID.
*
* GUIDs may be platform-dependent (i.e., the same device may report different
* GUIDs on different operating systems).
