+     * When dealing with arrays of primitives it's possible to store a larger value into a smaller
+     * component type array. For example a long value can be written into a byte array by storing
+     * the larger value in the first entry and storing {@code Illegal} in the slots whose value
+     * comes from the long value. So a long in a byte array would be a long value followed by 7
+     * {@code Illegal} values. That also means such a write much be treated as a group by arraycopy
+     * so reads and writes can't be performed in the middle of the illegal values.
+     * <p>
+     * So to ensure that an arraycopy properly treats these kinds of writes as group, it's
+     * sufficient to check that the first value is not {@code Illegal} and that the next value after
+     * the end is not {@code Illegal} since {@code Illegal} values only appear in the tail of these
+     * groups.
