For easy ID handling inside other projects.

Installing *Identifier* via Composer.

```
   "require": {
     "kaihempel/identifier": "1.0.*"
   }
```

Using the identifier object instead simple integer variables.

```
   $id = new Identifier(1);
   if($id->is(1)) // true
   if($id->is(2)) // false
```

Use type hinting on method or function signatures to avoid a huge number of numeric checks.

```
   ...
   public function load(Identifier $id)
   {
   ...
   }
   ...
```
