implementations should easily be able to comply with the CHERI CAP LIB API.
In particular, implementations exploring alterations to the underlying
capability format will benefit from adhering to this API for easy integration
with codebases already making use of the exisitng CHERI capability implementation.
If some genuinely new behaviour is necessary, generalising the CHERI CAP API should
be considered.
The CHERI CAP LIB API is here to guaranty that subtleties in capability
manipulations are handled correctly. This means that direct bit manipulation on
