 * I want a short alphanumeric hash that’s unique and who’s sequence is difficult to deduce. 
 * I could run it out to md5 and trim the first n chars but that’s not going to be very unique. 
 * Storing a truncated checksum in a unique field means that the frequency of collisions will increase 
 * geometrically as the number of unique keys for a base 62 encoded integer approaches 62^n. 
 * I’d rather do it right than code myself a timebomb. So I came up with this.
