+Loads a Hypercore, either by name (if the `name` option is provided), or from the provided key (if the first argument is a Buffer or String with hex/z32 key, or if the `key` options is set).
 
 If that Hypercore has previously been loaded, subsequent calls to `get` will return a new Hypercore session on the existing core.
