compose MemorySegments

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

One thing I saw which is very similar to what you want is this:

https://netty.io/4.0/api/io/netty/buffer/CompositeByteBuf.html

Perhaps Chris Vest or some other folks in Netty can comment more on that 
API. Netty is also doing some exploratory work to validate use of memory 
segments within Netty itself [1].

Based on that it copies the data bits from the network buffer into byte[]s with no additional processing.
