Yes, I kept it to 64B for performance reasons which is why most fields
have 1 value on input and another on output.

Technically it can be extended, but any cost in doing so should be
abosrbed by the new feature(s). Meaning, users just doing a fib lookup
based on current API should not take a hit with the extra size.
