/**
 * Badge is a human-friendly presentation format for arbitrary binary data.
 *  - looks like "nomluc_rigpem.tg2bjNkjMh1H6M2b2EhD5V4x6XAqx9wyWddsBt"
 *  - the first bytes are shown in barname format
 *  - the rest of the data is in base58
 *  - designed to be a nice way to present 256-bit passport thumbprints
 *  - can be used for data of different lengths
 *  - preview size can be customized as 'leadCount', which defaults to 4
