As per #176, I've tried to relax the validation a bit. It does work for prost Strings. Would this be acceptable?

It's not really going to cover your usecase if you have an Option for example. Maybe we just look if str or String are in it?

@Keats you were totally right. As I carried on adding validation I stumbled upon more cases.

I've added changes for Option<*String> and it's working for me

While doing this I realised that the main issue is that prost supports no_std and this impacts both String and Option (prost uses core::option::Option), but the latter is a different story altogether I think

I hope this PR helps with widening compatibility

should we just search for String and str rather than this ever-expanding list of possibilities? Worst case, it will be a compile time error if they tried to use it on a type it can't be used but that can be documented in the README.

it does sound like a sensible approach to me. The validation error feels like a very nice message for easier development, but if it's getting too much on the way then relaxing it would help too.

I've made the change to simplify this as much as possible. There are still Option<Option< checks for other types but they don't affect the case of strings

We should keep the same logic for the length validator below though

(apologies for the delayed response. I was caught with a few things and this slipped through! )

Thanks for that. I just pushed the recommended changes
