This makes debugging much easier. It can be difficult to debug issues as the verification struct does not contain all information used for the verification like the public key or the selector. If you change the DNS record and don't know if DNS is still cached further information can help.

We can't add a public field with a private type like this.

I don't understand what you mean. Why is it private and why can't we export it?

It's unexported, because it begins with a lowercase letter.

But QueryResult starts with a big letter? Can you explain what you mean? Thanks.

The field QueryResult is exported, the type *queryResult isn't.

ah I see. I'm still not sure about you're opinion. Should I make the type public or do you think that's a bad idea in general?

Can't we add more context to the error messages instead? |

I want to write a mail tester like mail-tester.com. If something fails, I want to show the used public keys, selector, etc. as debug infos. I think for this use case a more verbose error message is not sufficient. Having access to all fields makes it easier. |

Thank you for writing this library!
