Change the storage type of ExtensionField from interface{} to
protoreflect.Value.
Replace the codec functions operating on interface{}s with ones
operating on Values.
Values are potentially more efficient, since they can represent
non-pointer types without allocation. This also reduces the number of
types used to represent field values.
Additionally, this change lays groundwork for changing the
user-visible representation of repeated extension fields from
*[]T to []T. The storage type for extension fields must support mutation
(thus *[]T currently); changing the storage type to a Value permits this
without the need to introduce yet another view on field values.

Next Generation Go Protocol Buffers
WARNING: This repository is in active development. There are no guarantees about API stability. Breaking changes will occur until a stable release is made and announced.
This repository is for the development of the next major Go implementation of protocol buffers. This library makes breaking API changes relative to the existing Go protobuf library. Of particular note, this API aims to make protobuf reflection a first-class feature of the API and implements the protobuf ecosystem in terms of reflection.
