    Thank you for your explanation. Now, we focus on the path 3. I understand 
what you pointed out. How the following code should work?
    ```
    val mb = new OnHeapMemoryBlock(new long[16]), Platform.LONG_ARRAY_OFFSET, 
8);
    val mb1 = mb.subBlock(0, 96);
    ```
    
    According to the name `subBlock()`, I understand that you would like to 
ensure `sub block's size <= super block's size` (`not (96 <= 8)`)` logically.
    I would like to allow us to the above code since the array actually 
reserved enough space (`96 <= 128`). This is because I have already seen such a 
code when we would use `MemoryBlock` for `
    
    I. Add additional method `block()` (or different name) with this assertion. 
Keep `subBlock()` with a new assert that you proposed.
    2. Use another name `block()` (or different name) instead of `subBlock()` 
with this assertion.
    
    WDYT? cc: @cloud-fan
