// A minimal ASN.1 DER decoder. Supports input lengths up to 65539 (one byte for
// the outer tag, one byte for the 0x82 length-length indicator, two bytes
// indicating a contents length of 65535, and then the 65535 bytes of contents).
// Intended to be used like so:
//
// let bytes = <an array of bytes describing a SEQUENCE OF INTEGER>;
// let der = new DER.DERDecoder(bytes);
// let contents = new DER.DERDecoder(der.readTagAndGetContents(DER.SEQUENCE));
// while (!contents.atEnd()) {
// let integerBytes = contents.readTagAndGetContents(DER.INTEGER);
// <... do something with integerBytes ...>
// }
// der.assertAtEnd();
//
// For CHOICE, use readTLVChoice and pass an array of acceptable tags.
// The convenience function readBIT_STRING is provided to handle the unused bits
// aspect of BIT STRING. It returns an object that has the properties contents
// (an array of bytes consisting of the bytes making up the BIT STRING) and
// unusedBits (indicating the number of unused bits at the end).
// All other functions generally return an array of bytes or a single byte as
// appropriate.
// peekTag can be used to see if the next tag is an expected given tag.
// readTLV reads and returns an entire (tag, length, value) tuple (again
// returned as an array of bytes).
//
// NB: While DERDecoder must be given an array, it does not validate that each
// element in the array is an integer in the range [0, 255]. If the input to be
// decoded could conceivably violate this property, callers should perform this
// check before using DERDecoder.
