> ArrayData is 'array-type'-independent. If we make buffers generic over T, we need to find a way to write ArrayData Would it perhaps be possible to have a hybrid solution? The buffer remains typeless `Vec<u8>`, but the public API exposes generic typed methods like `Buffer::push::<T>()`. Then some code regarding type conversion to bytes, alignment etc. could be abstracted. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
