Description: The package `identifiers` provides classes that can be used to create and
        check identifiers for unique objects or unique classes of objects
        according to international standards.
        
        *Definition from Wikipedia*:
        
        "An identifier is a name that identifies (that is, labels the identity of)
        either a unique object or a unique class of objects, where the "object" or
        class may be an idea, physical [countable] object (or class thereof), or
        physical [noncountable] substance (or class thereof). The abbreviation ID
        often refers to identity, identification (the process of identifying), or an
        identifier (that is, an instance of identification). An identifier may be a
        word, number, letter, symbol, or any combination of those."
