 ``pyderasn``'s one. But additionally it offers:
 
 * Small, simple and trying to be reviewable code. Just a single file
-* ``__slots__`` friendliness
-* Ability to know exact decoded objects offsets and lengths in the binary
-* Pretty printer and command-line decoder, that could conveniently

+* :ref:`Pretty printer <pprinting>` and command-line decoder, that could

 * Some kind of strong typing: SEQUENCEs require the exact **type** of
   settable values, even when they are inherited
 * However they do not require tags matching: IMPLICIT/EXPLICIT tags will
   be set automatically in the given sequence
+* ``__slots__`` friendliness
 * Could be significantly faster. For example parsing of CACert.org's CRL
