I find that our struct value didn't include type info. Do we want include
type info in it?
1. If we include info in struct, the struct value may look like
```
struct Struct {
type: Arc<StructType>
...
}
```
- The benefit of it is we can look up field info directly by struct.
- The drawback is that extra 8 bytes pointer cost.
2. Another solution is pass struct type as another parameter when we need
it, e.g.
```
fn write(struct_value: Struct,struct_type: StructType)
```
- The benefit of it is save memory cost.
- The drawback is that I'm not sure whether the struct type is hard
available in some case .
For now, I'm working on serialize/deserialize value. And both process seem
can solve by second way. (pass a struct type as parameter)
But I'm not sure whether there is some scenario we must include info in
struct value.
