It definitely feels from this PR that we could improve scale_bits::decode_using_format_from to work with that Input trait rather than accepting an array of bytes; it'd be nice to be able to condense all of this decode logic into a few lines much like the encode version below, and the only reason that you can't is that the interface in scale-bits isn't quite right :)

Opened an issue for this here: paritytech/scale-decode#10

Looks great; love the approach and well commented (shame that scale-bits doesn't provide the right interface to help with decoding, so we should fix that). Just a wee tweak and perhaps some tests to make sure that our encoding/decoding lines up with BitVec still to check compatibility.
Maybe with those tests especially it becomes worth turning utils into a folder and moving this bits to a separate file?
