> Today we write all ords as longs, since we support more than 2.1B values in one segment, but the vast majority of the time an int would suffice.
> We could look into vLong, but this quickly gets tricky because {{BKDWriter}} needs random access to the file and we rely on fixed-width entries to do this now.
