This will be handy to distinguish IDs coming from different timelines, and this will be useful for the permalink PR, where the "main"/live timeline may not have a prefix, but detached timelines may have one. With something like that, the apps will be able to transition from a detached timeline to the new one, and having different internal IDs for the events mean that their UI frameworks will be able to notice the change.
Supports #3234.
