// Parse decodes s into a UUID or returns an error if it cannot be parsed. Both
// the standard UUID forms defined in RFC 4122
// (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx and
// urn:uuid:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) are decoded. In addition,
// Parse accepts non-standard strings such as the raw hex encoding
// xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and 38 byte "Microsoft style" encodings,
// e.g. {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. Only the middle 36 bytes are
// examined in the latter case. Parse should not be used to validate strings as
// it parses non-standard encodings as indicated above.
