public interface NativeMapped
Provide conversion for a Java type to and from a native type. `Function` and `Structure` will use this interface to determine how to map a given Java object into a native type.

Implementations of this interface must provide a no-args constructor.

See `ToNativeConverter` for a list of allowable native types.
