Yes, I will add this.

I am not sure this worth effort and will not be most degenerate use of
asn1_ber_decoder, since 1) I only need to parse one type in each case:
OCTET STRING string above code, and OIDs in below code; 2) this data is
said to be in DER format, which asn1_ber_decoder can not enforce. Surely
this will also produce more code and files.

Thanks!
