--- | Gets Twitter ID (/user_id/) from @Creds@.
---
--- Never use @credsIdent@ for Twitter OAuth. @credsIdent@ returns /screen_name/, which shouldn't be used for authentication.
--- /screen_name/ is text like /foo/ of /\@foo/ which is unique but __mutable__. So /screen_name/ cannot authenticate users.
--- /user_id/ is integer which is unique and __immutable__. So you should use this for authentication.
---
--- Because of compatibility, @credsIdent@ returns /screen_name/ yet.
