Checking my notes from awhile back, there was one other cross-check
that I thought was pretty high-priority: verifying that array_size
fields precede their array fields. Without that, a read function
will fail entirely, and a compare function might index off the
end of an array depending on which array-size field it chooses
to believe. It seems like an easy mistake to make, too.

I added that and pushed.
