+ *  Returns the small hash of a string, using RFC 4648 base64url format
+ *
+ *  Small hashes:
+ *   - are unique (well, as unique as crc32, at last)
+ *   - are always 6 characters long.
+ *   - only use the following characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 - _ @
+ *   - are NOT cryptographically secure (they CAN be forged)
+ *
+ *  In Shaarli, they are used as a tinyurl-like link to individual entries,
