Another thing that could be worth clarifying: are `Seq32`/`Seq64` with a
count of `0` valid? Right now they won't trigger a visit or an error,
i.e. they will be silently ignored. Whereas arrays of size 0 do trigger
a visit (which sounds logical). I'm not saying this is a problem, just
wondering if the behavior is consistent with what NVKV specifies in such
cases.
