/// # Example
///
/// To parse a certificate and print the subject and issuer:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use x509_parser::prelude::*;
/// #
/// # static DER: &'static [u8] = include_bytes!("../assets/IGC_A.der");
/// #
/// # fn main() {
/// let res = X509Certificate::from_der(DER);
/// match res {
///     Ok((_rem, x509)) => {
///         let subject = x509.subject();
///         let issuer = x509.issuer();
///         println!("X.509 Subject: {}", subject);
///         println!("X.509 Issuer: {}", issuer);
///     },
///     _ => panic!("x509 parsing failed: {:?}", res),
