-Requires: :: The character type `Ch` of `s` must be one of `char`, `wchar_t`, `char8_t`, `char16_t`, `char32_t`.
+Requires: ::
+  `Str` must be a _string-like_ type; that is, one with a nested `value_type` type (`Ch`) and with a nested `traits_type` type.
+  `str.data()` must return `Ch const*`. `str.data() + str.size()` must be of type `Ch const*`.
+  `Ch` must be a character type (one of `char`, `wchar_t`, `char8_t`, `char16_t`, `char32_t`).
 
 Effects: :: Parses the string `s` into a `uuid` and returns the result.
