I'm playing around with Gloss, trying to decode a packet, part of which has the 
following nested struture:

header-length (1 byte, value n)
        byte0 ... byten (count defined by that header-length byte)
           actual payload (length of which is the sum of the values of the 
above bytes)

So instead of a fixed-size value (uint16, uint32, uint64, etc) defining the 
size of the payload, there's a variable-length  list of bytes (up to 255),  
which has to be summed, to determine the length of the payload.

Pretty easy to do imperatively, but I got lost in the dense forest of gloss's 
abstractions, and couldn't figure out if it makes sense to try to handle a case 
like this with it.
