Have you ever considered supporting newtype derivations for string-backed identifiers?
I'm thinking of a similar reference-buffer duality as one between std::path::Path and PathBuf that gives you an option to wrap a str with the newtype without allocating, e.g.:
struct DatasetID(str);
struct DatasetIDBuf(String);
While some of the existing derivations are compatible with these types it still leaves a large enough amount of boilerplate to be written to enable conversions and comparisons between the two to discourage the use of the newtype pattern for string.
