/**
* Base58 is a way to encode Bitcoin addresses (or arbitrary data) as alphanumeric strings.
*
* Note that this is not the same base58 as used by Flickr, which you may find referenced around the Internet.
*
* You may want to consider working with PrefixedChecksummedBytes instead, which
* adds support for testing the prefix and suffix bytes commonly found in addresses.
*
* Satoshi explains: why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?
*
* - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and
* could be used to create visually identical looking account numbers.
* - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as an account number.
* - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
* - Doubleclicking selects the whole number as one word if it's all alphanumeric.
*
*
* However, note that the encoding/decoding runs in O(n²) time, so it is not useful for large data.
*
* The basic idea of the encoding is to treat the data bytes as a large number represented using
* base-256 digits, convert the number to be represented using base-58 digits, preserve the exact
* number of leading zeros (which are otherwise lost during the mathematical operations on the
* numbers), and finally represent the resulting base-58 digits as alphanumeric ASCII characters.
