Consider encoding: Bech32

I think BCH would be a great error correction to add to multiformats, but not under the bases. Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem codes or other polynomial error correction or polynomial shares schemes would be great. Perhaps this should be a multicodec instead.

Bech32 by itself is not a binary-to-text encoding, as it doesn't contain any padding convention. It can only be used to encode multiples of 5 bits.
