This name has been changed, but the as_byte_array union member below has not had
its name changed.
Is this what we want?

As far as I can see we need to support all of the types 

kInt8Array
kUint8Array
kInt16Array
kUint16Array
kInt32Array
kUint32Array
kInt64Array
kUint64Array
kFloat32Array
kFloat64Array
kExternalInt8Array
kExternalUint8Array
kExternalInt16Array
kExternalUint16Array
kExternalInt32Array
kExternalUint32Array
kExternalInt64Array
kExternalUint64Array
kExternalFloat32Array
kExternalFloat64Array

in the native port serialization. On to of this list we should also support
external and not-external.

That is a huge number of types, but if we want the deserialization on the Dart
side to be able to get all these types - maybe backed by an external byte array
- we need to handle all of them.
