This crate

This is a fundamental crate providing a universal name codex (Namex) system for managing identifiers across distributed systems. It implements:

• A decentralised, versionless database for mapping 32-byte identifiers to entities
• Support for over 4 billion identifier families, each with over 65,000 variants
• JDAT-based storage format with human-readable export options
• Rich entity metadata including names, descriptions, timestamps, and cross-references
• Language-aware naming with alternative name support
• Hierarchical tagging system for flexible categorisation

The crate aims to solve the challenge of maintaining consistent naming across distributed systems while preserving backwards compatibility and human readability.
