This is something I'm very much in favour of: it doesn't matter if
vtables mean we have loads of little functions, because we can auto-generate
some of them; it doesn't matter if we have non-decoding ops because we can
auto-generate decoding functions, and so on. Cuts down on maintainance, keeps
it all nice and clean. Only worry is the potential or perceived speed
hit, but I think we can trust compilers to essentially inline the ops into the
decoding functions.
