Then you'd have 4294967295, right?

So long as there's no limit to the number of kinds one use case can reserve, everyone takes ranges. That'll still fill up. Everything gets exponential really fast.

Also, people will use the kinds as counters, so they'll want a number for every record.

There‘s one misconception here: the amount of available numbers grows exponentially with space, not the other way round. So kind-bitsize grows logarithmically with each number added. That’s quite nice.

I don't understand, I'm afraid.

„Everything gets exponential“ is an advantage in this case. Storing bigger numbers becomes cheaper and cheaper the bigger they are.

I meant that the reservation of ranges would go exponential.

Give them more numbers and they will be tempted to reserve even more.

Alright. Makes sense.
