Well, with a few hacks this is green. I think the hacks might be OK to merge with, but we'd ideally want to get them removed before a final release. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is one of the hacks. I didn't implement special case support for &'a MyRef types in der_derive yet, so this hack lets it use the old syntax.
Following the pattern of #1921, removes the lifetime from the struct, instead changing `OctetStringRef` to a proper reference type to be used as `&OctetStringRef`. This makes it possible to `impl Borrow<OctetStringRef> for OctetString` and `impl ToOwned for OctetStringRef`, so they can work with `Cow`.

Gonna land this. We can work through custom derive support separately. I'll make an issue about it. Edit: opened #2039 |
