Research direction

The issue names no files, commands, or tests. Start by locating the extension entry point for user-facing commands and any existing generator utilities. Done means generating standard uppercase GUID v4 strings and the requested C-format representation, with tests covering both formats.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello, I'm using your extension, and it has really made UEFI development easier for me.

I'd like to suggest implementing a GUID generator into the extension so that it can generate standard uppercase GUID v4s (for example: 1E73767F-8F52-4603-AEB4-F29B510B6766) as well as GUIDs in C format (for example: { 0xA46423E3, 0x4617, 0x49f1, {0xB9, 0xFF, 0xD1, 0xBF, 0xA9, 0x11, 0x58, 0x39 } }) for DEC files and C source code files.

Thanks in advance.
