Things in IPLD on IPFS

[vorburger]

It may be fun to explore storing Enola's Things on IPFS's IPLD.

This would first require being able to turn an IImmutableThing into the IPLD Data Model. That would enable to create predictable hashes of Things, to be generate CIDs. This will require work to turn any Datatype into one or several predictable 0/1 bits format/s (simplest could be e.g. just toString, and Maps as JSON with sorted keys?).

That would enable e.g. IPLD DAG JSON Codec as an Enola Format.

IPFS IPLD Schemas would need to be an Enola Schema.
