WHY: There were two decisions that were baked into RapidLMDB at its inception that have limited its ability to grow.

• The decision to mirror release tags of this project with release tags of the LMDB core limited my ability to ship major updates

• The technical design around serialization greatly erodes many of the efficiencies that LMDB offers.

  • Primarily, the choice to encode numbers in their native bits, instead of using string-based encoding. This limits portability, and also makes it difficult to leverage LMDB's built in sorting features.
