/// - `previous_offset`: unless this is the first offset in the SSZ object, the value of the
/// previously-read offset. Used to ensure offsets are not decreasing.
/// - `num_bytes`: the total number of bytes in the SSZ object. Used to ensure the offset is not
/// out of bounds.
/// - `num_fixed_bytes`: the number of fixed-bytes in the struct, if it is known. Used to ensure
/// that the first offset doesn't skip any variable bytes.
