/// An "Apparently Random Identifier" (ARID)
///
/// An ARID is a cryptographically strong, universally unique identifier with
/// the following properties:
/// - Non-correlatability: The sequence of bits cannot be correlated with its
///   referent or any other ARID
/// - Neutral semantics: Contains no inherent type information
/// - Open generation: Any method of generation is allowed as long as it
///   produces statistically random bits
/// - Minimum strength: Must be 256 bits (32 bytes) in length
/// - Cryptographic suitability: Can be used as inputs to cryptographic
///   constructs
///
/// Unlike digests/hashes which identify a fixed, immutable state of data, ARIDs
/// can serve as stable identifiers for mutable data structures.
///
/// ARIDs should not be confused with or cast to/from other identifier types
/// (like UUIDs), used as nonces, keys, or cryptographic seeds.
///
/// As defined in [BCR-2022-002](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Research/blob/master/papers/bcr-2022-002-arid.md).
