Package base58 provides an API for encoding and decoding to and from the
modified base58 encoding.  It also provides an API to do Base58Check encoding,
as described [here](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding).

A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality.

## Examples
