Compressed vs uncompressed pubkey

[acolytec3]

Is there a simple way using the existing API + utils to convert a pubkey between the compressed and uncompressed forms? I'm exploring switching the discv5 library from the bcrypto secp256k1 implementation to this one but we need to be able to switch between compressed and uncompressed public keys without providing a private key in the middle if possible (bcrypto provides this method today).

secp.Point.fromHex(publicKey).toRawBytes(isCompressed);
