This is possible, but I find it much more practical to use just one list
(assignment of coins to indexes) than to use two lists (assignment of
coins to key strings and to serialization magic).

Keeping two lists is harder and adds unnecessary friction. (Also I am
not very happy for the possibility we'll have to deal with key strings
"sCAMCo1N RULEZZZZ!!!! bRoUghT TO YoU bY M4rty" and serialization magic
that leads to prefix "lulz").

Also from wallet's implementer perspective it is a little easier to use
just one root node and then descend in tree as needed than to use method
you described.
