GRASP objectives look like:
objective = [objective-name, objective-flags, loop-count, ?objective-value]
objective-name = text ;see section "Format of Objective Options"
objective-flags = uint .bits objective-flag
loop-count = 0..255
so, ['string', uint, uint, otherstuff]
There can be an array of objectives.
If any of the objectives do not match the above CDDL, what do I do?
Options are:
1) throw away that objective and move on to the others, which maybe
look right?
2) throw away the entire message.
(2) is certainly easier to code.
(1) seems way more future proof.
