private template IIDFromString(char[] str)
{
    static assert(str.length is 38);
    static assert(str[0] is '{');
    static assert(str[9] is '-');
    static assert(str[14] is '-');
    static assert(str[19] is '-');
    static assert(str[24] is '-');
    static assert(str[37] is '}');

    const GUID IIDFromString =
    {
        Data1: HexToInt(str[1 .. 9]),
        Data2: HexToInt(str[10 .. 14]),
        Data3: HexToInt(str[15 .. 19]),
        Data4:
        [
            HexToInt(str[20 .. 22]),
            HexToInt(str[22 .. 24]),
            HexToInt(str[25 .. 27]),
            HexToInt(str[27 .. 29]),
            HexToInt(str[29 .. 31]),
            HexToInt(str[31 .. 33]),
            HexToInt(str[33 .. 35]),
            HexToInt(str[35 .. 37])
        ]
    };
}

const IIDJavaBeansBridge =
IIDFromString!("{8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93}");

CTFE is terribly buggy, I tend to stay away from it as much as I can.
