Description
It looks like this `shredded` param allows quite a bit of code reuse. Should we look at other shred-vs-get pairs to see if similar consolidation is possible? Struct, in particular, is likely to be complex?

Research direction
Start by locating the implementations of `variant_get` and `shred_variant`, then compare how their struct builders use the `shredded` parameter. Review other shred-versus-get pairs for similar patterns; done means the consolidation scope is resolved and the relevant builders share an appropriate implementation.
