>   Summary: Introduce an API by which Java programs can interoperate with
>   code and data outside of the Java runtime.  By efficiently invoking
>   foreign functions (i.e., code outside the JVM), and by safely accessing
>   foreign memory (i.e., memory not managed by the JVM), the API enables
>   Java programs to call native libraries and process native data without
>   the brittleness and danger of JNI.  This is a preview API.

Hearing no objections, I’ve targeted this JEP to JDK 20.
