Description
We used time() before and now use random_string() to mark unique strings in serial0. But both have the disadvantage that they pollute the
screen with unpredictable strings - and making it harder to needle.
One idea is to hash the command used - but we need to find a neat hash function returning a short string

crc32 comes to mind - there is of course potential of collisions, but the resulting string is 8 chars long

The "pollution of screen" is a new issue, though, isn't it? Use something like git, sha1sum and take only first 6-8 characters?
