While flatbuffers allows to load data only partially, this does not really work when having to put it into an Rc<...> for passing it to the hgvs library.

By this benchmark we should evaluate the bincode crate as well.

The the rust serialization benchmark, it looks like prost is a very promising alternative.

First of all, we get protocolbuffers goodness with schema evolution (in principle). Further, other languages would be able to also read our files.
