    on some platforms the pointers don't fill the datatype they have assigned,
    (e.g. as of 2019 linux-x64 pointers are 48-bit/6-bytes). Define this value
    with the amount of most significant bytes that you want to cut from the
    data, so a fixed amount of trailing zeros aren't serialized.

    This value is defaulted to zero because it is as a dangerous optimization
    that should only be enabled people that has total control of the platform
    were this logger run.
