Crate links_id

Links IDs are unique identifiers used in the links project to identify individual links.

A links ID is a randomly generated 40 bit / 5 byte integer. It is usually encoded as an 8 character string, starting with a digit (0-9) followed by 7 base 38 characters. The character set used for base 38 is a modified nanoid-dictionary nolookalikesSafe, with 2 additional characters - X and x. The full charset is (in order): 6789BCDFGHJKLMNPQRTWXbcdfghjkmnpqrtwxz.
