Description: Universally unique identifiers ('UUIDs') can be suboptimal
for many uses-cases because they aren't the most character
efficient way of encoding 128 bits of randomness; v1/v2 versions
are impractical in many environments, as they require access to a
unique, stable MAC address; v3/v5 versions require a unique seed
and produce randomly distributed IDs, which can cause
fragmentation in many data structures; v4 provides no other
information than randomness which can cause fragmentation in many
data structures. 'ULIDs' (<https://github.com/ulid/spec>) have
5 years ago
128-bit compatibility with 'UUID', 1.21e+24 unique 'ULIDs' per
millisecond, are lexicographically sortable, canonically encoded
as a 26 character string, as opposed to the 36 character 'UUID',
use Crockford's 'base32' for better efficiency and readability (5
bits per character), are case insensitive, have no special
characters (i.e. are 'URL' safe) and have a onotonic sort order
(correctly detects and handles the same millisecond).
