Ooh, nice.  We could really do with an incremental version, too, which
could be spoonfed chunks of bytes, and dole out values as
deserialisation completes.

Passing back a Left String is in some sense not much of an improvement
over calling error, as if I merely doesn't have enough bytes accumulated
yet, I can't restart parsing from the point the bytes ran out.  Any
chance you'd like to hand back a continuation instead?
