This appears to just allow you to parse binary formats to the represented fields. (Not that that's not extremely useful, doing this in managed languages is generally a giant pain in the ass!) wuffs is much more powerful: it's essentially a safe C dialect that compiles to C, that lets you write an entire codec and know that there aren't any overflows.
