> To move towards single-pass in-place construction of binary tuples the 
> biggest obstacle is presence of the null map.
> It is proposed to encode null values as a single-byte special value (null 
> mark) in-line with regular values. It is required to escape regular values 
> that have the same bit pattern as the null mark so the null mark needs to be 
> relatively rare. The value of 0x80 seems a good one.
> By the way, this would greatly simplify making tuples from other tuples. E.g. 
> if we need to copy values for a column range [3, 7] from one tuple to another 
> tuple, we could copy values almost blindly with single memory copy. No need 
> for any bit magic anymore.
