Generate random identifiers in a number of styles:

* random ids of any number of bytes, such as `31f6d556fe2b303c` with `ids::random_id`

* UUIDs using the `uuid` package, such as `4f0efabf-0375-4a08-89ea-b8f162f07c44` with `ids::uuid`

* human readable identifiers in the style `_` (following [gfycat.com](http://gfycat.com)), such as `misanthropic_lungfish` with `ids::adjective_animal`

* human readable identifiers in the style of a sentence (following [Asana](https://blog.asana.com/2011/09/6-sad-squid-snuggle-softly), such as `33_enormous_chinchillas_tumbling_elegantly` with `ids::sentence`

* [proquint](https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016) ("PRO-nouncable QUINT-uplet") identifiers such as `dizuz-soboz` (which can be converted to an integer such as 40,2638,895) with `ids::proquint`

These can all be tweaked with options for length, words that are used, and the case that joins words.  There is a function `ids::ids` for creating your own human readable identifiers.
