Description

There are other alternative unique identifiers can be used in DB objects. UUID is not exactly new but can be used. Other alternative ones are cuid and nanoid.

Current implementation of django.db.models.fields.AutoField is being extended from IntegerField.
I tried to create another Base AutoField that is extending from CharField but there is a guard that checks if custom AutoField is being extended from AutoField or not.

I do not have a clear idea to accomplish this.
