Description

[Section 7.1.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tikhonov-quic-qmin-00#section-7.1.1) of the first draft states that

> If the encoded name component refers to an existing entry, this entry is reused as described in Section 7.1.2.

This is a wasted byte. The reuse of existing entry in this case is implied and should be inferred by the decoder.

Research direction

Start with Section 7.1.1 of the linked QMIN draft and compare its handling of existing name entries with Section 7.1.2. Determine how the decoder should infer reuse without a redundant REUSE_ENTRY command, then verify the protocol behavior in the C implementation and its tests, if present.
