Yes. it would be useful with GUID->name resolution.
This could replace some of the current guid->name mappings that we do for example for the GUIDs inside some dcerpc policyhandles and also the ones for filename->giod tracking for smb2
There are also for dcerpc interfaces a fair number of known "magic" guids which would be useful if they could be resolved into a name.
I think we should add a guid file similar to the manuf file where well-known guid to name mappings could be stored.
since guids are "never" reused and also since we might preload the mapping table from a file
that is why i recently changed the se_tree code to make it trivial to add a
pe_tree_... type. PErmanent tree a tree with storage scope that is never released.
for the guid->name mapping i think we should use such a pe_tree_... using pe_tree_[insert|lookup]_array.

Log:
various UUID/GUID based changes.
I think I've changed all corresponding appearances from FT_STRING to FT_GUID, so assert the FT_ type as it should only be a FT_GUID now.
Add a generic implementation in guid_utils.h to have a way to store data about GUID to name resolving (something like value_string for
e.g. int). It might be better to have a single registry for all GUID's of all dissectors and implement the GUID name resolving into the proto_tree_add... functions.
