Scotty does only understand the base types. There is even no special
code for DisplayStrings. The reason for this is that scotty follows
the SNMPv2 specs which allow to define textual conventions (which may
include display hints). The IMHO correct solution is to define a
textual convention macro for compatibility, e.g.
InternationalDisplayString ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"See definition in rfc1514."
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (0..255))
and to load it before any other definitions of this type are loaded.
(The next version will have a compat.tc file for this purpose.)
