So for the sake of argument, a natural key is something that in itself
is unique and the possibility of a duplicate does not exist.
Before ANYONE continues to insist that a serial id column is good,
consider the case where the number of tuples will exceed a bigint.
Don't say it cannot happen, because it can.
If you create tuples in your table at the rate of a million records per
second every hour of every day of every year, it will take over 250,000
years to exceed the value of a bigint!

I will refrain from marking snarky comments about your sig - tempting
though it might be! :-)
