"""
A system for storing your junk. Print a label, stick it on a box.
Write down what's in that box.

Boxes have a url, constisting of inventory://{Namespace}:{glyphString}.

For example, 'inventory://traverseda:red-ox-yellow-sheep' for the 200th-ish box
that I tag.

Things that go in the box should be refered to by an NFC tag, a uuid, or just write
it down. Seriously, just write it down. Don't refer to things that go in the box
using a glyphString.
