JavaOS has a hierarchy of "memory" classes with accessors and mutators like this
(e.g., they've got a setBytes method).  Hearing no objection, and now that we've
got a better mechanism for adding "built-in" method support, I'm going to set
about implementing them.  Should be a kick in the pants with respect to speed,
and it should be a damned sight prettier API than the one we've got.
