Yes. It should make it possible to have a truly constant input buffer in
the d2i functions. However in order to handle the replacement in stages
it will have to make a temporary copy of the data when it calls and old
style d2i function. That shouldn't have any efficiency issues because
when the lot is replaced there wont be any old style d2i's in the
library any more.
It will also blow away all the old ASN1 macros: basically just about
everything in asn1_mac.h
