A simple shortener library for RFC 4122 compatible UUIDs. Change your 36 chars long UUID into it's shorter equivalent.

Key concept and inspiration taken from [pascaldevink/shortuuid](https://github.com/pascaldevink/shortuuid) library. If you just need to generate short UUIDs the easy way, I encourage you to check his work. If you expect perfomance, this library uses `ext-gmp` to speed up the process.
