Well I thought about that, and this is within the opaque data type - it
doesn't leak to be confusing to other developers, and for this really we
should profile different approaches and find the fastest. That said I
don't expect this disk layout to last, as per my other emails. So I'm
inclined to do the simplest thing for now.

Not quite. Theres some superficial differences that are easily corrected
by changing object member names. More deeply, one is to become page
based, *possibly* keeping a parsed version, and one remains memory
based. So I am thinking it needs a mixin or other form of composition to
make it clean. Until then I want the definately in-memory one clearly
separated from the 'read from disk' index.

It was a lot more natural to be a tuple before I refactored the keys to
be tuples :).
