Oh thanks for sharing, never found that somehow. It seems that's mostly formalising the general idea of adding a prefix to a UUID, but you still end up storing them as variable length strings.

I left 4 bits out in UPID as a version specifier, so could theoretically add a version with longer prefixes or more/less timestamp precision if that seemed useful to anyone.
