I'm trying to understand if it's possible to take a serialized protobuf 
that makes up part of another protobuf and merge them together without 
having to deserialize the first protobuf. 

For example, given a protobuf wrapper: 

syntax = "proto2";

import "content.proto";

message WrapperContent {
 required string metatData = 1;
 required Content content = 2;

}


And then imagine we get a serialized version of *content* below (i.e. 
*content* is coming that is coming from a remote client):

syntax = "proto2";

message Content {
 required string name = 1;
 required bytes payload = 2;

}

Do you know if any way I can inject the serialized *Content *into the 
*WrapperContent *without first having to deserialize *Content. *

The reason I'm trying to inject Content without deserializing it, is to try 
and save on the overhead of deserializing the message. 

Thanks, Mike.
