Description

Looking at #862 it appears you only need it for its guid. We can probably solve that another way. Perhaps by emitting an IID_IDispatch constant or something.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the context in issues #862 and #861, especially the reference to the IID_IDispatch GUID. Then inspect the CsWin32 source-generator entry points to determine how generated constants are represented; done means users can generate an IID_IDispatch constant for the required GUID.
