> The bespoke caching scheme in `jl.invoke.LambdaFormEditor.TransformKey` allows keys to be compacted when all byte values of the key fit in 4 bits, otherwise a byte array is allocated and used. This means that all transforms with a kind value above 15 will be forced to allocate and use array comparisons.
