I'm unsure about this bit
In this case, the length can be given either by that field's
name as specified for `bindat-get-field'
Should it say you write "(fieldname)" instead of a bare name. Perhaps
if the "([NAME] HANDLER)" bit was at the start of the section you
could refer back to that instead of forward to bindat-get-field too.
Also maybe an @multitable could show the possibilities better than
words. I suspect it's one of those things where patterns or examples
are easier to follow than actual description. :)
integer fixed given length
(FIELDNAME) length from a previous field
(eval FORM) length from evaluating FORM (more on eval below)
