    TODO: Right now all we do is append the bytecode to the end
    of the binary, but we will need a more flexible solution in
    the future to store many files as well as their metadata.

    The best solution here is most likely to use a well-supported
    and rust-native binary serialization format with a stable
    specification, one that also supports byte arrays well without
    overhead, so the best solution seems to currently be Postcard:
