Re:Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not by bobmcn on Wednesday September 20, 2023 @11:44AM (#37585651)
Why not just define a higher level proto that contains all possible (maybe repeated) protos you might want to include? Then if one of the included protos is not present, the higher level proto will efficiently encode that, and nothing gets broken.
