Ah, seems reasonable. I still think that for now we'd like to stick to
only one function named bytestring_to_count. Adding something akin to
unpack doesn't fit the longer term model we're putting in place and I'd
like to avoid the various bit length uint functions since in Bro all
integers are 64bit.
