Description

I believe @mikeal has compressed CID set representation & implementation. CID sets come up all the time and we always resort to some hacky version like maps with CID keys or sorted lists to represent them.

I think it would make a lot of sense to just standardize compressed CID format and implementation. I would suggest:

  1. Implementing a codec for the compressed CID set representation and adding it here.
  2. Defining a codec format and allocating a code in the multitcodec table
