The prototype package was initially used by generated reflection support,
but has now been replaced by internal/fileinit.
Eventually, this functionality should be deleted and re-written in terms
of other components in the repo.
Usages that prototype currently provides (but should be moved) are:
* Constructing standalone messages and enums, which is behavior we should
provide in reflect/protodesc. The google.protobuf.{Enum,Type} are well-known
proto messages designed for this purpose.
* Constructing placeholder files, enums, and messages.
* Consructing protoreflect.{Message,Enum,Extension}Types, which are protobuf
descriptors with associated Go type information.

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.
