This is very interesting! Thanks for allowing something like this to 
become eventually part of the JDK.

One question/comment: Would it be possible to use NIO buffers instead of 
Java arrays for the underlying data? If we could use NIO buffers, it 
would help efficiency by allowing us to access native data buffers 
directly when used along native code, which is basically the goal of the 
Panama Project.
