This proposal wasn't for JNI access in the stores, but for letting the stores get lower-level access to some actions (those things implemented in the Macro class(es). For example: currently, a move is implemented as a copy, then a delete - this is obviously the most general way to implement it. However, many potential stores are able to implement move as a single (quick/cheap) action. This is a pretty major part of improving Slide's speed at some things.
Ah, gotcha now.
I think you might want to avoid calling this "native" since it might confuse other people down the road :-)
