* I agree that structs and unions would be good to have at some point but it 
turns out they are much harder to implement.  In particular, they contain 
references to constituent OIs and do not have natural Java/Writable 
equivalents.   Thus, the way the constant value should be stored is not obvious 
and you have weird interactions where some field OI maybe a constantOI but not 
the whole thing, etc.  This is complex enough that I think it's worth deferring 
to another diff

* I will convert void OI to be constant.

* I'm not sure that constant OI guarantee that its objects are constant; it 
might imply unnecessary copies and currently none of the rest of the UDF 
architecture functions this way (most things passed around are writable and 
it's up to consumers not to assume ownership).
