No, I think ATM the vector API doesn't have a way to load a vector from 
a memory segment. That said, IIRC it has ways to load it from a 
ByteBuffer and you can turn the segment into a BB (provided it fits into 
a 32-bit size).

I did some experiments in the past about bridging the two APIs, the 
results I got were a bit hit and miss but it was a long time ago - maybe 
it's time to do another attempt.
