Description
It would be useful for e.g., Identity that is currently put in the variable section of the page when its always 32 bytes and could be in the fixed part instead. This would also be helpful for using the fast bsatn serialization path.

Research direction
Start by locating the AlgebraicType and Value definitions and the BSATN serialization paths that divide values between fixed and variable sections. The change is complete when FixedLen supports fixed-size values such as Identity and the fast BSATN path can use that placement.
