This is a Rust implementation of the [ulid][ulid] project which provides
Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers.
## Quickstart
```rust
// Generate a ulid
let ulid = Ulid::new();
// Generate a string for a ulid
let s = ulid.to_string();
// Create from a String
let res = Ulid::from_string(&s);
assert_eq!(ulid, res.unwrap());
```
