Done.

Thanks man

FTR, I think this crate is not blocking stabilization of important bitcoin types since we could hide secp256k1::* types and operations and only expose them in serialized form or via extension traits. As such I suggest we focus most of our time at stabilizing relevant parts of bitcoin.

Yep sure thing, @apoelstra also told me offline that he didn't want to focus on secp at the moment. Mainly I was wanting to keeping on eye on secp so we don't do anything that we later have to change because of secp and for things that create/prove conventions (like error stuff etc.). I'll try a bit harder to stay away from here though :)

FWIW "at the moment" just means "since I just had a baby". I don't mean to imply that I'm stepping away from this project or that I plan for it to be indefinitely stalled.

My bad, that was my understanding, i didn't mean to misrepresent you.
