I would think there is a reason for this wrt potential foreign code
access (in particular the case of ivectors in foreign mem).  Similar
consideration in the case of binary writes of these to external storage.
Maybe these are not overly compelling, but my preference would be to
keep this as it is.

Just my two cents...
