"to make full use of the memory" - that's a nice euphemism. Of course I don't use strings if not neccessary. A numerical identifier is leaner, faster in comparisons, can be sorted by unambigeously. And of course I will transform the string UID into an integer ;-) No but sersiously string operations are rather fat.
