Parse binary structs... with a language that only has doubles.

Nowadays Javascript supports packed binary data natively. The only things that Javascript lacks is a 64-bit integer type. All other numeric types can safely be represented in a double.

JITs can also use integer types internally when possible (small integer optimization).
