Description
From what I can tell, to infer a descriptor requires creating an Interpreter, then calling .inferred_descriptor(). However, to build an interpreter, requires a BitcoinKey which is private not to mention the innner module and stack module which are also private. Is it possible to expose some interface to allow inferring a descriptor?

Research direction
Start by reading src/interpreter/mod.rs, focusing on Interpreter, inferred_descriptor(), BitcoinKey, and the private inner and stack modules mentioned in the issue. Determine what public interface would allow descriptor inference without exposing those internals; done means the supported interface is defined and its behavior is covered by appropriate project tests.
