multiformats / multiformats/multicodec
Whats the data format (or is it compatible) for "bmt multihash 0xd6 Binary Merkle Tree Hash" to hash binary forest pairs that define a function that returns byte[] id of another object (id of an id generator then its id)?

Description
How would I give the context in the id to say what its hashing?
Something like... QmmultihashId...sdfsdf:bmt:occamsfuncerV1:contextSpecificId4234234 but that seems too many names in an id and theres binary form.
It is only a forest of pairs and leaf is all 0s (undecided on how many 0s), of calls of a universal lambda function which would for example derive a preprocessing of small literal bitstrings to quote them else use a securehash and may have bit masks etc... Since I dont want to deal with the never ending complexity of updating software when new stuff is added, I just want to use multihash to (less efficiently) name every possible binary forest (that generates a function) and let the functions do the rest, further optimizing, etc.

Research direction
The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Begin by clarifying whether a new multicodec or multihash representation is requested and what context must be encoded; define the binary forest and leaf-size requirements before assessing compatibility.
