 The accessibility of Waku protocols is capped by the accessibility of their implementations, and hence API.
 This RFC enables a concerted effort to draft an API that is simple and accessible, and provides an opinion on sane defaults.
 
-The API defined in this document is an opinionated-by-purpose method to use the more agnostic [WAKU2]() protocols.

 - No `default` means that the value is mandatory, meaning a `default` value implies an optional parameter.
 - Primitive types are `string`, `int`, `bool`, `enum` and `uint`
 - Complex pre-defined types are:

+  - `object`: object and other nested types.
   - `array`: iterable object containing values of all the same type.
   - `result`: an enum type that either contains a value or void (success), or an error (failure); The error is left to the implementor.
   - `error`: Left to the implementor on whether `error` types are `string` or `object` in the given language.
