I'm in the process of exporting Structs to Kaitai schemas, and the `Optional` field is something I use very often. I figure that since `Optional` is typically parsed only when data is available, then using `not _.io.eof` could be used to achieve similar functionality. Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Correct me when i am wrong, but i do believe the Optional is not limited to EOF situations. However, it is a common purpose, and different to the more general current Optional, it is translateable to kaitai. Maybe we should add an option, or make a OnlyIfDataExists alternative? |
