I don't see the advantage of using generics in `ContextualRecord` is it's only used once with `byte[]` types. As generic types are lost after compilation, I would prefer to remove the generic if not needed (AFAIK, generics have some runtime overhead as the compiler needs to insert casts that are evaluate during runtime.)
