> The API currently doesn't do a good job at differentiating between simple wither-like methods (e.g. withAccessModes)
> and deep side-effecting operations (e.g. withOwnerThread).
> This patch explores a way to make handoff more of a first-class concept of the API - you can take apart an existing
> segment and reconstruct it with a given `HandoffTransform` (a recipe which specifies what properties should be
> associated with the reconstructed segment). Turns out that `handoff` and `HandoffTransform` is the ideal place where to
> put several of the *advanced* operations we used to have exposed directly by the memory segment API
> (`withCleanupAction`, `registerCleaner`). We can also add na overload for `handoff` which takes a native scope and
> bounds the segment to it. By reorganizing the API in this way, it is now clear that memory segment feature _two_
> terminal operations: `close` and `handoff`. We can document this in the API in a more centralized fashion, without
> having to repeat the same text across seemingly unrelated methods. For clients, it is also clearer that doing an
> `handoff` is a big reconstruction, which is different from a simple wither. I've also somewhat simplified the access
> mode story; there's now a single HANDOFF mode which covers all types of handoff - this was clearly needed, since the
> access modes we had before were very fine-grained, and it was very painful for client to prevent against *all* kinds of
> terminal operations (for instance, I realized that the current impl has no access modes check for
> `withCleanupAction`). Impl note: for now the HandoffTransform implementation is mutable and not thread-safe - the
> javadoc calls this out. I'm open to make this more immutable/value oriented if this is desirable. Note: this PR is
> against the `foreign-abi` so that it shows how `NativeScope` is affected by the changes. If the changes brought in this
> patch looks good, it would be better to push the memory access changes in the `memory-access` branch in a separate PR,
> and then follow up with the remaining `NativeScope` changes here. Javadoc link:
