I'd prefer it to be as dense as possible. Besides the format used in
bytecode files (so it'll take up memory space when mmapped in) it's also
going to be the over-the-wire serialization format and, while disk space
is reasonably cheap, bandwidth still isn't.

Though I'm still not sure we need a unified structure here. (And if we do,
we need to do something different, a single function pointer for read or
write is insufficient)
