That's pretty much what we envisaged as the approach to take. Monad transformers adding some bit-buffer state over Get/Put.

For anyone who's still reading this thread...

I've just uploaded[1] binary-strict 0.2.1 which includes Data.Binary.Strict.BitGet - a Get like monad which works by the bit. I'm afraid that Haddock 2 is choaking on {-# UNPACK #-}, so I don't have the HTML documentation to point to. (And I thought that Haddock 2 was going to fix all those parsing issues :( - hopefully I'm just doing something stupid).

Ok. That's awesome. I guess if you do all the TODOs for Binary like this, we should merge the code back in :)
