Hi,

Don’t know, just noticed the UINT part and thought about returning 'a value' should be possible.
Will have to look into this more closely to see if and what makes sense.

 
I created change 38006  for these two. Both of them wanted the length in order to increment the offset. They were
written assuming that it would return just the value in the length field, not the total length (including the fixed width
of the length field itself).
