/***
* An implementation of the libp2p multistream
*
* NOTE: This is a severe twist on (break from?) what is multistream. In the GO code,
* multistream does the initial connection, and has a list of protocols that
* do the work. Here, we've gotten rid of the protocols for now, in order to
* get things working. We're passing around DHT messages for now.
*
* So in short, much of this will change. But for now, think of it as a Proof of Concept.
