| Registry reading, etc. |
| |
| This provides tools for dealing with the legacy binary types database |
| format, still in use by extensions and the core code. While the actual |
| binary file format is implemented by the [[store]] code, the wrapper |
| that turns this into a type registry is implemented here. |
| |
| While this code is primarily used in only two modes: |
| |
| * linear write / concatenate |
| * random access read |
| |
| The API unfortunately exposes a random-access write approach, which - |
| while ~unused needs before we can re-write this away from the store |
| backend. |
