Review comment:
       I would add a few comments to explain what each part is parsing, because 
it's inherently less readable than a format string.
   ```suggestion
     // xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx is 36 long: 16 bytes * 2 hex 
digits / byte + 4 hyphens
     if (str.length() != 36) return {};
     int charIdx = 0;
     int byteIdx = 0;
     auto input = reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(str.c_str());
     
     // [xxxxxxxx]-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
     while(byteIdx < 4) {
       if (!parseByte(id.data_, input, charIdx, byteIdx)) return {};
     }
     // xxxxxxxx[-]xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
     if (input[charIdx++] != '-') return {};
   
     // xxxxxxxx-[xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-]xxxxxxxxxxxx - 3x 2 bytes and a hyphen
     for (size_t idx = 0; idx < 3; ++idx) {
       if (!parseByte(id.data_, input, charIdx, byteIdx)) return {};
       if (!parseByte(id.data_, input, charIdx, byteIdx)) return {};
       if (input[charIdx++] != '-') return {};
     }
     
     // xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-[xxxxxxxxxxxx] - the rest, i.e. until byte 16
     while(byteIdx < 16) {
       if(!parseByte(id.data_, input, charIdx, byteIdx)) return {};
   ```
