    An abstract superclass for all unboxed float classes.

    In contrast to normal arrays (which store pointers to their elements),

    unboxedFloatArrays store the values in a dense & compact way. 

    Since the representation fits corresponding underlying C-language representations,

    these are also useful to pass bulk data to c primitive code.
