Storing structures mmapp'd is actually very tricky. I have experimented with rkyv initially having this idea in mind, but gave up because the machinery just to power the archive types was causing complexity to explode. The thing with zero-deserialization frameworks is that they are very limited in what they can abstract away, and it gets ugly pretty quickly.

So I don't deny the idea, just stating that it's probably _significantly_ more complex to implement than it sounds.
