Not bad, I mean, I’m not lining up to implement it in C tomorrow, but if it gets an RFC I could definitely see using it.

I have an application where I’m using a 32bit serial for the event someone has to read it to sales staff over the phone. I would have liked to use 64bit and encode some more details into the serial. This would satisfy that.

I like the idea of removing ambiguous chars. I have a Base64 system that prints where I and l use the same font (infuriating).
