Remove undocumented Spicy parser engine variations #1796

Closed bbannier closed 1 month ago

bbannier commented 1 month ago

We had support in the code for parsing unit fields like bytes &size=1 (note the missing : for an anon field). This was neither documented nor tested.

Since code might have used this without issue one could consider this a breaking change. At the same time it was never properly documented as supported.

I came across this when looking at the reproducer in #1795.
