// First, a bitmask is necessary to generate the ID. The bitmask makes bytes
// values closer to the alphabet size. The bitmask calculates the closest
// `2^31 - 1` number, which exceeds the alphabet size.
// For example, the bitmask for the alphabet size 30 is 31 (00011111).
// `Math.clz32` is not used, because it is not available in browsers.
let mask = (2 << (Math.log(alphabet.length - 1) / Math.LN2)) - 1
// Though, the bitmask solution is not perfect since the bytes exceeding
// the alphabet size are refused. Therefore, to reliably generate the ID,
// the random bytes redundancy has to be satisfied.
// Note: every hardware random generator call is performance expensive,
// because the system call for entropy collection takes a lot of time.
// So, to avoid additional system calls, extra bytes are requested in advance.
// Next, a step determines how many random bytes to generate.
// The number of random bytes gets decided upon the ID size, mask,
// alphabet size, and magic number 1.6 (using 1.6 peaks at performance
// according to benchmarks).
// `-~f => Math.ceil(f)` if f is a float
// `-~i => i + 1` if i is an integer
