Hi Kees,

I'm curious if this is something that could be buried in bch_val given
it's already kind of a fake structure..? If not, my only nitty comment
is that memcpy(k->bytes[], ...) makes it kind of read like we're copying
in opaque key data rather than value data, so perhaps a slightly more
descriptive field name would be helpful. But regardless I'd wait until
Kent has a chance to comment before changing anything..

Brian
