JEP 370 - text example leads to exception

No problem! Nice talk at FOSDEM, Maurizio ;-)!

One suggestion, for future talks - when it comes to memory layouts please
construct an example that is a little bit more complex (by end of the
upcoming weekend I will publish one that can be used). I had trouble with
bit alignment when working on mine, but I will come back with the details
(no bug or anything but more clarity would be beneficial in the docs). In
your example (the Point one) the alignment is 32 but that is now always the
case... The reason I mention this as an issue is that the Java development
community is more "high-level". Believe it or not, bit alignment is not
anymore "a thing" with most of us ;-)...

I will also think about some API enhancements I would like to see as a
developer...

Thanks!
