The `Writer` is a wrapper to make `VectorSerializer` easier to use. It is
*presently* only used in spilling (that's the project that created it.) But,
the intention is for it to be general purpose. By binding int to `SpillSet`, it
then becomes the easy-to-use interface for spilling, but other code must use
the clunkier prior interface.
Not a big issue; just trying to pass along the design intent when the code
was created...
