Comment (by niteria):

 @nh: What about collisions?
 Uniques are 64 bits on 64 bit systems. 8 bits are taken for the tag, that
 leaves us with 56 bits.
 You can expect collisions after `2^26` uniques are allocated. That's
 `67108864`. It's a pretty small number.
 We've definitely seen cases of running out of 24 bits for larger projects.
