So, if you want to guarantee that your crids won't conflict with any other
crid, register them. You can use any chars from #32 to #127 (though it's
usually a bad idea to use 32 since it isn't visible) and you can't use all
lowercase combinations, which are reserved by Palm, Inc. If there are about
10,000 Palm OS programmers, that leaves about 8000 crids per developer.
[96^4 (chars) - 26^4 (all lowercase) = 84,477,680 possible crids]. Of
course, if there really are 100,000 programmers, then that leaves only about
800 crids per developer, and we'll definitely start having a shortage when
we reach 1,000,000 programmers!
