> Folks have pointed out that it's not always best for users to interact with
> the ByteBuffers that are now backing binary fields in our structs. In truth,
> it seems like ByteBuffers are probably an expert means of access, with
> associated benefits and complexities.
> I think we should generate two different sets of accessors for binary fields:
> a default set, named like usual, that return and take byte[], and a second
> set, named something like "get_buffer_for_<field>" that returns the
> underlying ByteBuffer. The byte[] accessors can wrap around the ByteBuffer
> ones as necessary.
