Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

If you want to add the support variable-size fields, this is incompatible with 
the struct module design.

If you want to add the support of variable-length strings inside fixed-size 
fields (as with the 'p' format unit), I think this case is not enough common.

After getting so much negative responses from core developers well-versed in 
internals of the struct module, I think this issue should be closed.
