Cross Platform GUID Association with Types
summary
Implements cross-platform GUID-for-type association that replaces MSVC-only __declspec attributes with macro markers that expand to constexpr functions and a string-to-GUID constexpr converter. Uses C++11 templates and constexpr so code compiles on Clang/GCC (and Visual C++ with declspec) and avoids RTTI and attribute-induced object-size bloat. Prototype handles forward declarations, provides a default-error specialization, and mostly works—fails on C or pre-C++11 builds and exposed an Android NDK linker quirk during testing.
