You can still use Apple partition maps on Intel machines; they work fine.
Don't do this except in very specific circumstances (typically when
you need to do universal boot). In general, a filter scheme driver
should be able to handle both APM and GPT.

Yes. GPT partitions don't have a string type; they only have a GUID.
Various high-level tools convert common GUIDs to a string for
presentation purposes, but the GUID is the fundamental data type.
If you need a custom type just generate a GUID and use that.
