This type is exceptionally wide for something that we want to be almost entirely StandardGate (which could even be u8 sized). Realistically we're not going to get this below a usize, but that should be achievable by pointer-indirecting the PyInstruction etc variants, and storing the enum discriminant in the 2 low bits of the pointer (if we expand the enum in the future and need more than 2 bits, we'll have to think about our 32-bit platform support).
