+// SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT ELEMENT IFC GUIDS
+//
+// by: Martin Ashton, August 25, 2025
+//
+// - VIM Elements sourced from Revit may have the parameter IfcGUID, which defines the IFC GUID of the element (which is distinct from the value stored in Element.UniqueId)
+// - VIM Elements sourced from IFC files use the Element.UniqueId field to store the equivalent IfcGUID.
+// - This IfcGUID is a "compressed" 22 character case-sensitive string.
+//   - This unfortunately does not play nicely with systems which merge records in a case-insensitive manner (ex: PowerBI)
+//   - To resolve the casing issue, we expand the 22 character IfcGuid (if present) into its canonical GUID representation composed of 36 hexadecimal characters and dashes ('-').
