[Jython-dev] Buffer protocol - direct vs. JVM ByteBuffers

What difference does it make in your use case whether a NIO ByteBuffer 
is direct or non-direct? I can see why a client might want to know which 
it had been given, but not why it might want an exception raised in one 
or other case.

Nothing I'm doing seems to depend on what kind of memory the exporting 
object has, therefore on the implementation type of ByteBuffer storage. 
It may depend on storage.hasArray(), but storage.isDirect() seems to 
make no difference.
