Description
The exact implementation in the der_lax() function is very bitcoin specific, and it's a "demo code" in libsecp256k1.
I do not think this library is meant for bitcoin's consensus verification. if someone wants to verify an old bitcoin signature he can either implement the weird strict der_lax we have or just grab some DER deserializer off the shelf that won't match bitcoin's consensus but will do the job.
@apoelstra any thoughts?
