  Description     : Multihash implementation in Go

 Multihash is a protocol that describes a hash digest using a self-describing
 format. It prefixes the hash with an identifier for the hashing algorithm
 and the length of the digest in bytes. This allows systems to handle
 various hashing algorithms in a unified way, providing flexibility and
 future-proofing without requiring prior knowledge of the specific hash
 function used.
 .
 This library provides functions for encoding and decoding Multihash values,
 summing data with various cryptographic hash functions into Multihash
 format, and verifying Multihash integrity.
 .
 It is a foundational component of content-addressed systems like IPFS,
 which rely on self-describing data for distributed and decentralized
 content verification.
