ReaperOfVeriod 0b1793d6af Map shrub packet tags onto three payload kinds
Dereferenced all nine pointers in the level 0 table that carry the 0x30 tag at
byte 11 and an EE pointer at 12..15, reading 32 bytes each. They fall into
exactly three classes, three payloads each, with no overlap.

A, Q16.15 fixed-point vertex data (3 of 9): every high byte 0x80 or 0x7c,
repeating on an 8-byte boundary, values differing per payload while the
4e 4e 4c 80 tail is shared by two.

  00936a70  8d 8c 80 80 89 87 7c 80 ... 4e 4e 4c 80
  0093cde0  8a 8a 7f 80 92 90 84 80 ... 4e 4e 4c 80
  009cf4f0  6e 6f 68 80 6e 6f 68 80 ... 54 54 51 80

B, a 0x30 sub-list with a repeated word (3 of 9), structurally identical
apart from that word (0xcd, 0xc0, 0xc8), all carrying 01 00 00 05 at offset 16
and a ".. c1 01 6e" at 20.

  009376f0  00 00 00 30 cd 00 00 00 cd 00 00 00 ...
  00998880  00 00 00 30 c0 00 00 00 c0 00 00 00 ...
  009d2da0  00 00 00 30 c8 00 00 00 c8 00 00 00 ...

C, an index/attribute list (3 of 9), both opening 00 c0 05 6d, then a count,
then a run of small ascending u16.

  00939700  00 c0 05 6d 3e 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ...
  009c1540  00 c0 05 6d 36 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ...

So the tag vocabulary measured on disc at record byte 7 -- 0x00, 0x30, 0x6d,
0x80 -- selects the payload:

  0x30  class B, the 00 00 00 30 sub-list
  0x6d  class C, the 00 c0 05 6d attribute list
  0x00  class A, the fixed-point vertex data

0x30 heads the class B payloads and 0x6d heads the class C payloads. That was
flagged as a single coincidence two commits back; three payloads each makes it
a rule.

0x80 has no sample among these nine and its meaning stays open.

Correction: the record spacing in this table is not uniformly 0x30. The find
output shows 0x30, 0x10, 0x30 between consecutive packet headers, and only 9
of the 5632 bytes scanned carry both the 0x30 tag and an EE pointer. The
earlier "0x30 spacing" was inferred from a truncated hit list.
