Description

The extra implementations of TypeRepMap generally has worse performance and adds dependency footprint, especially the vector dependency that takes a decade to build.

Could we not build them by default?

Research direction

Start by locating the package build configuration and the definitions of the extra TypeRepMap implementations. Check how the default build currently selects them and identify the vector dependency path; done means the extra implementations are excluded from the default build while remaining available through an explicit option.
