Description
Today at JuliaCon I was talking with @masonprotter about this package, and he brought up the idea of making the memory backend type a parameter, so that instead of Memory{T} one could use, say, Ptr{T}.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the package's current Memory{T} backend representation and how its fixed-size arrays use that storage. Define the scope needed to make the backend type parameterizable for Ptr{T}, then verify that the package supports both existing Memory{T} usage and the proposed pointer-backed form.
