Sounds good to me! I just came across that introductory video from Matthew,
where he explicitly stated that xarray will be not very efficient if the
indices are not densely clustered. But maybe this is all far beyond the
24bits of index space a memory key is in. So let me drop that IDR thing
completely, while handling randomized 24 bit memory keys.
