When the syntax `new Guid()` (i.e. parameterless instantiation) is used, it must be that one of three things is wanted: . An empty GUID, in which case `Guid.Empty` is clearer. . A randomly-generated GUID, in which case `Guid.NewGuid()` should be used. . A new GUID with a specific initialization, in which case the initialization parameter is missing. This rule raises an issue when a parameterless instantiation of the `Guid` struct is found.
