Hi,All

 I have a simple question.

Acording to the commit comment(*1),"human_id" is human-friendly ID.
And that is a slugified form of the model.
"slugified" means like url slugfy.
It replace the space between the string to hyphen and remove non
charactor string.
For example, "a b c"  is replaced to "a-b-c", and "a.b.c" is replaced "abc".

I already know that it is used for bash-completion.
Do you know any other usecase? Is that all?


FYI: (*1)
The commit comment is below.

    Add human-friendly ID support.

    Allows a user to interact with certain models (image, flavors, and
    servers currently) using a human-friendly identifier which is a
    slugified form of the model name.

    Example:

        nova boot --image debian-6-squeeze --flavor 256mb-instance myinst
