This is exactly what my ForeignData proposal on the haskell-prime wiki

though, I only have it specified for creating pointers to data, it
wouldn't be much trickier to make it work for haskell unboxed arrays

What about boxed arrays? A static Array of thunks makes as much sense to me
as a static UArray of CInts. This doesn't really feel like an FFI feature.
(Not that foreign data wouldn't be useful too.)
