I also fear that the existing script does not handle types with more than
256 constructors correctly. While uncommon, those are not unrealistic.
Feel free to send in a patch. All it needs to do is check if there are
more than 2^8 constructors and if so encode the tag in a Word16 rather

DrIFT as of 2.2.1 now supports binary for this package. using it is as
