-This special identifier can be used instead of the phone number in signal-cli's interface.

+In all places where a RECIPIENT argument is expected in signal-cli's interface, one of the following can be used:

+- The phone number
+- The ACI, just a UUID
+- The PNI, just a UUID, with "PNI:" prefix
+- The username, with "u:" prefix, e.g. "u:test.000"
