What I said earlier was that 010 was the least bad choice if we
fail to do any expansibility work; but I'm not happy with failing
to do that.

Basically, I'm not happy with consuming the last reasonably-available
pattern for a memory context type that has little claim to being the
Last Context Type We Will Ever Want.  Rather than making a further
dent in our ability to detect corrupted chunks, we should do something
towards restoring the expansibility that existed in the original
design.  Then we can add bump contexts and whatever else we want.
