Review Comment:
I will admit I don't fully understand `'static` in rust. It doesn't
_necessarily_ imply a memory leak, but it does seem difficult (albeit
apparently not impossible) to apply `'static` lifetime to anything that will be
freed before the program terminates.
One way would be to never create a schema that actually uses `TypeName::Ref`
nor any `Attributes`, for example. But that's kind of cheating -- may as well
not support them at that point.
So I guess the question would be: Can one create a `Decoder` with Some
`reader_schema`, where the memory allocated to create that reader schema
actually gets freed when the decoder gets dropped?
A refinement of that question would be: Can one create a `Decoder` with Some
`reader_schema` that does use `Attributes` or `TypeName::Ref`, with dynamically
allocated strings that can be freed after the decoder is dropped?
Or, as I suspect, would one be forced to leak them (or use compile-time
constant strings instead), in order to get the code to compile?
