Use other type than string for ObjectID

Description

I want to assign Id of type GUID to ObjectID without adding a second property.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create the following class

   public class A
   {
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "objectID")]
       public Guid Id { get; set; }
   
       public string Data {get; set}
   }

2. Create instance of A

3. Use Algolia.Search.Clients.SearchIndex.SaveObjectAsync(...) and save it to an index.

   This will result in

Algolia.Search.Exceptions.AlgoliaException: The ObjectID property or the JsonPropertyAttribute with name='objectID' must be a string
   at Algolia.Search.Utils.AlgoliaHelper.EnsureObjectID[T]()
   at Algolia.Search.Clients.SearchIndex.SaveObjectsAsync[T](IEnumerable`1 data, RequestOptions requestOptions, CancellationToken ct, Boolean autoGenerateObjectId)
   at Algolia.Search.Clients.SearchIndex.SaveObjectAsync[T](T data, RequestOptions requestOptions, CancellationToken ct, Boolean autoGenerateObjectId)
   ...

Solution

public class A
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }

    public string ObjectID { get => Id.ToString(); }

    public string Data {get; set}
}

Proposal

This is where the exception is thrown. Would it make sense to allow other types such as GUID in the ObjectID property or is there a reason for it to be string?
