Description

We likely want to rely on ability to freeze and share frozen data structures. This will allow to store many records in memory efficiently, so that they share common parts that are unchanged from record to record.

The "freeze" concept currently only exists for structs. Need to look if other composite types can also support it so that the sharing is more efficient.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing freeze implementation for structs and the current record-reading APIs, then investigate which composite types can support shared frozen data. Done means the scope and behavior of a ReadMany() API and any additional freeze support are defined and covered by appropriate tests.
