Certain exchange protocols have started sending their timestamp fields as a 6 byte unsigned integer. these fields contain nanoseconds since midnight. If I promote this value to a uint64 I get:

Lua Error: [...]:370: calling 'add' on bad self (string expected, got userdata)

Is there a way to use the internal field parsers to handle 6 bytes as an integer? Do I need to write a custom function for this data?
