-**ident**: An ident is a unique identifier given to a storage engine resource. Collections and
-indexes map application-layer names to storage engine idents. In WiredTiger, idents are implemented
-as tables. For example, collection idents have the form: `collection-<counter>-<random number>`.
-
 **binary comparable**: Two values are binary comparable if the lexicographical order over their byte
 representation, from lower memory addresses to higher addresses, is the same as the defined ordering
 for that type. For example, ASCII strings are binary comparable, but double precision floating point
 numbers and little-endian integers are not.
