Looking into the RQCC this morning I found an excellent discussion on
this by Mark Waddingham in in request submitted by Björnke:

Thanks for pointing this one out. I added votes as well.
While I was there I added a request to solve the bloat problem with keys
of sub-arrays within a parent array in which all of the sub-arrays use
the same key names:

I like the idea of a struct-like assembly, but wouldn't the same thing
be accomplished by using numeric constants (and possibly faster, if I
understand the way the numeric arrays work):
constant kName = 1
constant kParty = 2
constant kAddress = 3
-- etc
put "R" into member[kParty]
Moments like this make me glad you're on this list. :)
Yes, that definitely reduces the bloat, down to a single byte per field.
A struct would reduce it even more (at least for arrays with more than
four fields), but that's a big step forward for keeping file sizes down
that can be used today.
Thanks for the idea -
