Why are you exposing `BytesRef`/`BytesOwned`? Why not `OctetString`/`OctetStringRef` ala `spki` (i.e. the ASN.1 type, though it's BIT STRING there), or if not that then `&'a [u8]` and `Vec`? Really `BytesRef`...
@dishmaker this crate is designed to support heapless targets that don’t have `alloc` available, which `OctetStringRef` is capable of working on
But then you haven't actually gotten rid of the `*Ref` type, and since it's immutable anyway, there's no "write" case to worry about, so `Cow` doesn't buy you anything. Anyway,...
@baloo are you going to redo this? I think it would be great to get in before the next stable release series
Aah ok, I'm down to take it then. Seems like it will be a bit of a mess but worth it.
Some way of generating code from ASN.1 schemas would be nice. It sounds like you're requesting the other direction, though? I'm not aware of any implementation of schema-driven data formats...

I don't think we're going to end up implementing anything like this, at least in the near future
