Indeed.  Will change the definition.

Long-term I'd like to generalize the btree a bit and allow three key
variants: long, u64 and u8[].  Some people want to stuff a
(u64, u64, u8) tupel into a btree.  For those it seems ideal to just
treat the key as an array and do memcmp() for comparison.

You can't tell where a program is going to spend its time. Bottlenecks
occur in surprising places, so don't try to second guess and put in a
speed hack until you've proven that's where the bottleneck is.
