Description
It would be nice if types from the asn1 module could be used with serde. That could be useful in cases when a structure decoded from DER needs to be serialized in some other format (e.g. a human-readable one).

Research direction
Start by locating the asn1 module and its DER types, then review how those types are currently decoded. Determine the serde integration scope and verify that the affected types can be serialized into a human-readable or other format without breaking existing DER behavior.
