 That's a good idea, but I just realized that it wouldn't be suitable in
 this case for Twenty Seventeen because the theme needs to work backwards
 to the 4.7 branch.

 See [attachment:"44883.1.diff"] which still retains a
 `twentyseventeen_unique_id()` in Twenty Seventeen, but uses a new
 `wp_unique_id()` when it is available.
