(Nitpick: I don’t think it technically is correct to call this “The C representation”, as strict layout in C depends on the C compiler/ABI. I wouldn’t trust this to be good enough for serializing data between 32-bit and 64-bit systems, for example. For calling code on the same system, it’s good enough, though)
