feature request: base58 encoding

[harrysolovay]

The base58 encoding scheme has become quite popular for a number of use cases. Any thoughts on including a standard implementation in this lib?

I think it makes sense to add

Hello, is anyone currently working on this? New around these parts. Correct me if I am wrong and someone else is working on the issue still.

I did not see a standard implementation of Go to port over. https://github.com/denoland/deno_std/tree/main/encoding is the correct location for adding the exported deno stand library functionality of the encoding and test files placed in the same directory?

@mtmulch1 I am currently working on this issue still but this would be the right directory to add the implementation files.

Hi @luk3skyw4lker, wondering if there are any updates on this front? It seems others (@mtmulch1) may be interested in implementing this as well.

Hello @harrysolovay

I'm still finishing the work, there are still some details but I'm planning to open a PR this weekend to finish it

Hi everyone! It wasn't able for me to open a PR last weekend, but I'm still working on the issue. During the week I keep tangled at work and usually am not able to work here or provide updates, I mostly do the work at weekends, I think that this weekend I'll be able to surely open the PR

implemented in #2539
