The only way for it to be zero-copy is if the underlying physical type
matches the numpy representation. A struct of `{real: float32, imag: float32}`
wouldn't be represented identically (it would be two separate buffers of
float32s). A `fixedList` of floats makes sense and would provide the ability
for zero-copy though. So that could work.
Personally, I think that representing as an extension type with
fixed-size-list would be easier and better than creating entirely new primitive
types. But that's just my thought, anyone else wanna chime in here?
