This package provides a simple way to generate prefixed random tokens inspired by the [GitHub token format](https://github.blog/2021-04-05-behind-githubs-new-authentication-token-formats/).

Tokens are comprised of the following parts:

- tokens always start with a prefix of 1-6 characters
- followed by a `_`
- followed by 30-242 characters of randomness (`a-zA-Z0-9`)
- followed by a 6 character base62 CRC32 checksum

A token cannot exceed 255 characters in total length.
