+Fundamental design decision:
+
+- the sizes of external and internal types are assumed to be the same.
+ This leaves byte ordering aside. While assuming this the code can be
+ greatly simplified and speed increases. Since no change violating this
+ assumption is in sight this is believed to be a worthwhile optimization.
