Lighter Weight Update Representations #27

One issue I've seen is that small changes to a large object require shipping the entire object's updated serialized form to the store during the commit protocol. It's worth looking into custom or general ways to send and apply smaller deltas. This would reduce bandwidth and serialization overheads when working with large objects.
