util.deserialize() should return an IPLD-friendly object, not BitcoinjsBlock

[Mr0grog]

See also ipld/js-ipld#141.

util.deserialize(), which is what provides results to ipld.get(cid), should return an object where the keys represent the same set of paths that can be resolved with ipld.get(cid, path). Instead, it’s currently returning a BitcoinjsBlock instance, which is very different.

The exact format of the object depends on how we resolve the open question at the end of the original post in ipld/js-ipld#141.

I disagree. If you want a IPLD-friendly object use resolve.resolve(binaryBlob, '/').

Closing this issue — this was a misunderstanding between @vmx and I about the intended behavior. Instead, the real issue is a combination of ipld/interface-ipld-format#34 (which needs to be fixed in this resolver) and ipld/js-ipld#142 (which needs to be fixed in js-ipld).
