Register Cap'n Proto to multicodec table #1

Open lthibault opened 4 years ago

lthibault commented 4 years ago

Given the popularity of Cap'n Proto, we are hoping to register an entry into the multicodec table in the sub-0x80 range, so that the varint header will be compacted to a single byte. The requested entries are:

name type header value
capnproto serialization 0x52
dag-capnproto ipld 0x73

A PR has been submitted and we will be proceeding optimistically, as if these values were already approved.

Relates to IPLD #87.
