    This is just a factory to generate ExternalBytes.
    There are no instances of this class!!

    The difference to ExternalBytes is, that #new: returns unprotected ExternalBytes,
    that are not protected from garbage collecteded. ExternalBytes allocated #with new:
    are not garbage collected.
