Description
Summary
Matching the upcoming/new API and supporting some features could be great for combining vtproto codec performance with lazy decoding: https://go.dev/blog/protobuf-opaque
Extremely new post, and haven't at all looked at the implementation. But to put feelers out... :)

Research direction
The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start with the linked Go protobuf opaque API post and compare its requirements with vtprotobuf's generated codec; define concrete scope and acceptance tests before implementation. Done would require an agreed implementation and tests demonstrating lazy decoding support.
