Is there a way to declare Guid.Empty as a constant? C#

Question

Out of curiosity, Is there a way to declare Guid.Empty, nay any Guid as const? I once thought all value types can be declared as a constant.

Line below returns the error: CS0283 The type 'Guid' cannot be declared const

const Guid myConstGuid = Guid.Empty;

[const (C# Reference)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/const): *Constants can be numbers, Boolean values, strings, or a null reference.* — dbc, Feb 10 '20 at 07:21
Why you need a constant ?`Guid.Empty` already plays a role of readonly value. — Fabio, Feb 10 '20 at 07:24

The const modifier is only valid for primitive types.

You could however declare it as readonly.
