        NaN box, this is great for fitting more in the cpu cache on x86_64 or ARM64 architectures. If you don't know how this works please reference these
    two articles:

    https://leonardschuetz.ch/blog/nan-boxing/ and https://piotrduperas.com/posts/nan-boxing/

    both are great resources :)

    TL;DR: we can store payloads in the NaN value in the IEEE 754 standard.
