This would be a welcomed addition to the standard library.

We’ve used our own version of `Identifiable` for years across internal frameworks that have nothing to with UI and in customer facing applications to automatically assign identifiers to views such as UITableViewCell, Segues, ViewControllers, etc.

Thanks @anandabits for driving this addition…

Cheers!
