This is a nice change. Do you have some micro-benchmark numbers on how the
methods perform in comparison to the old `writeString()` methods?
Also, it would be interesting what the benefit of doing binary comparisons
is. So, a microbenchmark of sorting the strings with a normalizedKeySorter. And
a case where all prefixes are equal.
