Well, that depends on how you set up your map. You could instead make the
key a pointer to the protobuf field, and define your comparator so that it
dereferences the pointer. Of course you need to make sure that the pointer
is actually valid: if you mutate the field you may invalidate the pointer.
If you're concerned about that, another approach would be to make your key
type a pointer to the entire protobuf value, and have the comparator look at
the field. When doing lookups in the map, you will need to construct a dummy
protobuf to use as the lookup key.
