In this case, yes. In the real-life case I was simplifying, it wasn't a ubyte[] array, it was an array of structs with non-trivial serialisation that also depended on a previous deserialised variable. It was more like this:

struct Outer {
   static struct Header { ... }
   Header header;
   @LengthInBytes("length - headerSize") Inner[] array;
}

struct Inner {
    static struct Header { ... }
    Header header;

@ArrayLength("length") Unit[] units; //actual length of the array instead of in bytes

}

struct Unit { ... }

So maybe not as useless after all ;)

Thanks. Very nice indeed.
