operation from Python.
### Cross Language Binary Compatibility

Review Comment:
Question on this:
> Current library versions can read serialized images of sketches from older
library versions within a language.
Can we broaden this, and say something like this (to show that the converse
is also true)?
> Current library versions can read serialized images of sketches from older
and newer library versions within a language.
i.e. do we expect the serialization format to not change over time at all?
For example, if we're using these sketches in a system that can save the
sketches in a database, can we expect that systems that use newer versions of
the library will always serialize the sketches in a format that can be
deserialized by systems that use older versions of the library?
