ok, did you introduce a new version id for this change or did you 
somehow manage to keep the file format unchanged ?

right, I was being vague. I wanted to keep the binary size but avoid 
writing the number of elements as well, which is simply binary size/4. 
I'm not doing this for the micro size optimization, but because I'd like 
to use copyToBin ;)

I'll ask on the users list as well, to see if someone objects.
