Thoughts on adding a ULID struct?

Continuing this discussion

I came across this article by shopify and thought point 6 was interesting about ULIDs.

The short version is they were able to realize a 50 percent decrease in INSERT statement duration by switching from UUIDv4 to ULID for idempotency keys.

Now, most of the operations in the majority of applications are reads vs writes, but this seemed interesting and figured i'd float the idea. I think the closest I've seen in our ecosystem at the moment is Cysharp/Ulid. There's also Newid but that's a bit different.

There were a lot of heated discussions about it recently
#88290
#86798
#86084

Regarding UILD, just my 5 cents, there is no point in adding non-IETF-specced ULID data format to BCL (read: to the end of the .NET life) as UUID v7 is in a draft

Ah my bad. I checked the other discussions before I posted but not these once I got redirected.
