Better GUID macro

This macro only requires you to replace the -'s with commas.

Macro GUID(name, l1, w1, w2, b1b2, brest) 
  DataSection
  name:
    Data.l $l1
    Data.w $w1, $w2
    Data.b $b1b2 >> 8, $b1b2 & $FF
    Data.b $brest >> 40 & $FF
    Data.b $brest >> 32 & $FF
    Data.b $brest >> 24 & $FF
    Data.b $brest >> 16 & $FF
    Data.b $brest >> 8 & $FF
    Data.b $brest & $FF
  EndDataSection
EndMacro

GUID(CLSID_Test, 332C4425, 26CB, 11D0, B483, 00C04FD90119)

Whats the difference in use of this macro and just defining the GUID in a DataSection? Advantages - disadvantages?

Thanks

You don't have to split up the last number by hand. (It's for the lazy among us

)
