Last night I added the "prefixed" identifier generators contributed by Michael Heuer in BZ 34254 (Thanks, Michael!). These made me think again of something that we discussed a while back: composite identifiers. The prefixed identifiers could be viewed as composites of a "constant" identifier on the front followed by an alpha/alphanumeric. (Admitedly a degenerate case, which is why I just added the classes as submitted.)
I don't have immediate need for these things myself, but I am wondering if other people do. Composition could take the form of concatenation, hashing, or anything else that users want to do with results from a List of identifiers in the composite. An abstract base class might provide access to the List and a cache of most recent constituent identifier results. Thoughts?
