There has been a lot of talk about the interface, but here's a simple
idea: Post some examples of how you want to use it.
We can all sit around and argue forever and a day about the API, but if
you want it, you probably have some real-word examples in mind and if
you don't, then that's a good reason not to add it.
(As an aside, exposing the mmap'ed memory as a bytevector was my first
instinct, but I worry about this complicating matters if we ever wanted
to change gc)
