We use these structures to describe mappings from records to XML or JSON. The
literals are fieldnames and namespaces. A namespace can be long
("http://ing.com/wholesalebankingservices/internationalpayments/payments/OVS/executesingleinternationpaymentorder/v2.1"
or much, much longer) and be recorded for every field in a very large
structure.
Apart from the wasted space it would be very beneficial to have only one
occurrence of an identical string. That means the address of the string can be
used as a string ID making unmarshalling much more efficient.
