Review Comment:
   h.Write(b) is sufficient for hashing one isolated byte slice, but here the 
hash input is a structured stream made of multiple variable-width fields. 
maphash does not preserve Write call boundaries; it only sees the final 
sequence of bytes. So without length-prefixing, different structured inputs can 
serialize to the same byte stream, e.g. splitting bytes differently across 
adjacent buffers/strings
