So far we have less than 50 messages (I think it's around 25 or so,
but I'll estimate high to prove my point).  I'm allocating a whole
byte for messages, so we have 5* expansion potential with using only
single-byte encodings.  And of course we can always do the UTF thing
and use multi-byte encodings if we need to.  But I realy doubt we'll
come up with 200 more messages.

The fields part will be handled such that unknown fields (to the
compression function) just get high-bitted, and sent through as they
are.  This way arbitrary fieldsets can still be transmitted, but the
fields we use commonly are still sent efficiently.
