Most of the values are going to be constant constructors (rather than
large pieces of data), so they'll only take up one word anyway.  My
problem is that I'm going to have hundreds of them, and those hundreds
of words is the space I'd like to save.

I was thinking of grouping the fields hierarchically in multiple
structures, with each one wrapped in an option, but there are reasons
I'd rather not do this (mostly because it'd make fields more difficult
to access).
