Description
Introduce an API that offers statically-typed, pure-Java access to native code. This API, together with the Foreign-Memory API (JEP 393), will considerably simplify the otherwise error-prone process of binding to a native library.

For further details, see [JEP 389](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/389).
