// ASN.1 has IMPLICIT and EXPLICIT tags, which can be translated as "instead
// of" and "in addition to". When not specified, every primitive type has a
// default tag in the UNIVERSAL class.
//
// For example: a BIT STRING is tagged [UNIVERSAL 3] by default (although ASN.1
// doesn't actually have a UNIVERSAL keyword). However, by saying [IMPLICIT
// CONTEXT-SPECIFIC 42], that means that the tag is replaced by another.
//
// On the other hand, if it said [EXPLICIT CONTEXT-SPECIFIC 10], then an
// /additional/ tag would wrap the default tag. This explicit tag will have the
// compound flag set.
//
// (This is used in order to remove ambiguity with optional elements.)
//
// You can layer EXPLICIT and IMPLICIT tags to an arbitrary depth, however we
// don't support that here. We support a single layer of EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT
// tagging with tag strings on the fields of a structure.

	defaultValue *int64 // a default value for INTEGER typed fields (maybe nil).
	tag          *int   // the EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT tag (maybe nil).
	stringType   int    // the string tag to use when marshaling.
