Doesn't support imports of "google/protobuf/*.proto".

[kayabaNerve]

protobuf-nim tries to automatically import said files, yet they're not shipped with the library.

Updated the title/description as multiple other files exist, not just any.proto.

It should support importing them if you have them on your system IIRC

[kayabaNerve]

Thanks for the headsup. The any.proto file has a lot of syntax which isn't supported by the parser though, such as use of option to declare effectively magic values. Even though they could be imported, I don't think they could be parsed due to other problems, but that's a separate discussion.

Hmm, that is unfortunate.. TBH the parser that protobuf uses is pretty poor, I wrote it because there weren't any good options for a compile-time parser at the time, but now it should probably be switched to https://github.com/zevv/npeg. This would probably make it easier to implement these new parsing rules as well as speeding up compilation when using protobuf (the slow part currently is the parser).
