I've been using something like that:
An "id" type which internally uses uuid by default, but in some conditions
I can make it use a sequential id.
Most of the time the reason is helping with debugging (as sequential ids,
depending on the source, can help understand what happened in a sequence of
events).
However, I never thought about mixing both with the same interface than
uuid.
So I'm interested in taking a look at how your extension works.
