I am not a huge fan of these decl macros... but I can see how writing
out the same function prototype 3 times is annoying.

More importantly, it helped greatly while re-rolling this series literally
several times until I nailed the right set of parameters these methods
should take.

I think the better strategy is to avoid delta compression altogether
for objects that are so big we cannot materialize them as a contiguous
buffer.

Yes, that is what I am aiming for in the recent topics around this area.
