Thank you for your issue! Overall I'm supportive of the idea. At the very least it can make it easier to ensure all ids are using the correct type (it's currently inconsistent). In terms of implementation I think my preference would be for a macro_rules macro which creates the types for each of the structs, so that they can all share the same methods, while still being distinct types.

What methods do the newtypes need though? #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, Eq, PartialEq, Hash)] and maybe Ord/PartialOrd is all I can think of.

Well they'll need ways to extract and map the raw IDs, I don't think the type should be completely opaque, so I think we should have methods and trait impls such as into_inner and Deref/DerefMut implementations, and fmt::Display implementations, as they should still print the numbers.

I would just make the inner number pub, but ok...

I mean would also do that. I think it's important for it to be flexible as there are different cases where one style is more preferable than the other.

I see you've made ids be mostly i64. Do you know of any ids that can actually be negative?

Another question: what is parse_u64 for? It doesn't do anything usefully different AFAICT

If there was a reason, I have since forgot it, so feel free to disregard the current setup and make everything u64 for now. If it turns out to be needed we can change that part later.
