The base case handles sequences and most primitives. Special handling was required for `DerOctetString` and `DerBitString` since they store their value at `.payload` rather than `.value`. Special handling was required for `DerNull` since its current constructor takes no argument at all, not even `None`. This should make "playpenning" around with ASN.1-based formats a lot more convenient.

Considering that the 'else' codepath in the `DerSequence` constructor will encode these objects automatically, this will create valid representations.

The base case handles sequences and most primitives.
Special handling was given to
DerOctetStringandDerBitStringby way of inspiration from this site — the false-positives still yield technically valid representations, and the true-positives provide tremendous utility when playing around with many real-world ASN.1 formats that nest values within octet- and bit-strings.Special handling was required for
DerNullsince it takes no value, not evenNone, and doesn't currently accept explicit or implicit tag overrides.This should make "playpenning" around with ASN.1-based formats a lot more convenient.
Is this something you'd be interested in merging? Do you have any feedback on it?
