OpenType usage is not very clear

[viraptor]

I'd like to use the type from rfc2459, which includes an opentype. I've got a AttributeTypeAndValue from which I'd like to decode the value. The only way I know to do it currently is somewhat awkward.

value_bytes = part['value'].asOctets()
spec = part.getComponentType()['value'].openType[part['type']]
value = decoder.decode(value_bytes, asn1Spec=spec)[0]

I couldn't find any way documented. Is there one?

Ah, indeed!

You should just pass the decodeOpenTypes=True keyword parameter to main decode() function. It will automatically decode open types and replace Any fields with decoded structures.

I am going to document this shortly.

Added some more docs and examples.

Sorry for it has taken so long!
