It did not originally occur to me, but now it's clear that we can avoid using a struct to wrap the data type.
It just suffices to use the new type.
I think this is better in terms of writing code because the only two things we need to do are:
make sure we have serialization and unserialization tests;
use the correct data type in the struct.
For all intents and purposes the ArchivalBinaryData is just a special kind of []byte attached to custom marshal/unmarshal rules.
