/**
* The [Base58 Encoding](link-base58) scheme allows a **numeric** value
* to be encoded as a compact string using a radix of 58 using only
* alpha-numeric characters. Confusingly similar characters are omitted
* (i.e. ``"l0O"``).
*
* Note that Base58 encodes a **numeric** value, not arbitrary bytes,
* since any zero-bytes on the left would get removed. To mitigate this
* issue most schemes that use Base58 choose specific high-order values
* to ensure non-zero prefixes.
*
* @_subsection: api/utils:Base58 Encoding [base58]
