7 * Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?
8 * - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and
9 * could be used to create visually identical looking data.
10 * - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as input.
11 * - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
12 * - Double-clicking selects the whole string as one word if it's all alphanumeric.
