@cestella are we still OK with this? I'd like to get it in

> It is rather commonplace for malicious actors to obfuscate exploits or data
> transfers using encoding. In order to identify and prioritize responses to
> (or automatically mitigate) those attacks during threat triage we should have
> a method for decoding in Stellar. Some initial thoughts would be to handle
> percent/URL encoding, base64, base32, base16/hex, HTML encoding, etc.
> I would expect that something like DECODE(something, encoding_type,
> optional_failure_mode) would return the contents of field "something" after
> attempting to decode it via "encoding_type". If decoding fails,
> optional_failure_mode would indicate whether or not to fail the message and
> send it to the error topology, or to simply return the contents of the
> original field "something" (in this example).
