/**
 * This class encapsulates the technique of having a native buffer mapped to
 * a JS object. Writes to the native buffer can happen efficiently without
 * going through JS, and the data is then available to user's via the exposed
 * JS object.
 *
 * While this technique is computationaly efficient, it is effectively a
 * write to JS program state w/out going through the standard
 * (monitored) API. Thus any VM capabilities to detect the modification are
 * circumvented.
 *
 * The encapsulation herein provides a placeholder where such writes can be
 * observed. Any notification APIs will be left as a future exercise.
