The current approach of having separate methods named `*OnHeap` and
`*OffHeap` seems error-prone in the long run. Instead, it might be better to
create an enumeration for tracking which category memory belongs to, then to
have methods which take an extra parameter to specify whether the memory is on-
or off-heap. We could use a boolean parameter but I'd rather use explicit
enumerations to make the types clearer in Java code where we can't use the
Scala-style naming of arguments at method call sites.
