@Jonathan_Blow Is JAI going to help with that?

My guess is the main reason to avoid the interior pointer problem is just because it requires pre-traversal, so that does become a "hard" problem if you care about speed, I should think (at least if we are taking the "how difficult is this for a layperson to understand" metric).

Also now I am kind of off on a tangent of thinking about what the most efficient way is to make a system that handles interior pointers properly :) I feel like it requires two traversals. But I would love to be wrong about that.

IIRC the first problem hurts execution time a fair bit because you're not just doing pointer equality comparisons, you're doing range comparisons. And speed was (is!) important. I guess we could have had two different serialisation paths.

But it also requires two traversals, which is even worse. So not supporting, or optionally supporting it, probably does make sense since it is almost never done.
