| a111: | Logged on 2017-07-09 17:12 phf: arbitrarily sized numbers are a variable sized type. gotta figure out ~some~ way of packing them. you're essentially left with type tagged size variation (if a byte is 0, then next struct is 8byte, if a byte is 1, then next struct is 16byte), but at the end you still will end up falling back to "read this number to know how many bytes to read" | [05:27] |

The casualties will likely never be counted, but an estimated "dozen or so" stink bugs are dead or actively dying at the time of this writing.
