This is a follow-on to the earlier work in reducing string copies,
mainly focused on ensuring that ASCII strings are easy to provide to the
JS runtime.
While we are replacing a 16-byte reference in a number of places with a
24-byte structure (measured via `std::mem::size_of`), the reduction in
copies wins out over the additional size of the arguments passed into
functions.
Benchmarking shows approximately the same if not slightly less wallclock
time/instructions retired, but I believe this continues to open up
further refactoring opportunities.
There's no point for this API to expect result. If something fails it should
result in a panic during build time to signal to embedder that setup is
wrong.
Welcome to better optimised op calls! Currently opSync is called with parameters of every type and count. This most definitely makes the call megamorphic. Additionally, it seems that spread params leads to V8 not being able to optimise the calls quite as well (apparently Fast Calls cannot be used with spread params).
Monomorphising op calls should lead to some improved performance. Now that unwrapping of sync ops results is done on Rust side, this is pretty simple:
```
opSync("op_foo", param1, param2);
// -> turns to
ops.op_foo(param1, param2);
```
This means sync op calls are now just directly calling the native binding function. When V8 Fast API Calls are enabled, this will enable those to be called on the optimised path.
Monomorphising async ops likely requires using callbacks and is left as an exercise to the reader.
