Proposal Details

Currently, we have to pass compressed bytes through elliptic.UnmarshalCompressed and the deprecated elliptic.Marshal to make use of compressed (e.g. NIST P-256) keys with crypto/ecdh: example.

An implementation was proposed here: crypto/ecdh: implement compressed points but was not merged, while the source issue got closed.

Any updates on the matter?
I would be glad to rebase the changes if needed !

Thanks a lot!
