      Enhance the API to load and store vectors to and from `MemorySegment`s
        as defined by [JEP 424: Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) API
        (Preview)][JEP-424]. The FFM API is sufficiently mature that we are
        comfortable adding this dependency to the Vector API. We will remove
        equivalent API points that operate on `byte[]` and `ByteBuffer`, since
        a `MemorySegment` can be obtained for either. Use of `MemorySegment`s
        will enable the creation of *hyper-aligned* regions of memory, which
        align to the byte length of a vector. On some architectures, such
        alignment enables superior performance when loading and storing
        vectors.
