+     * Allocates an array of a given type, but does not do zeroing.
+     * <p>
+     * This method should only be used in the very rare cases where a high-performance code
+     * overwrites the destination array completely, and compilers cannot assist in zeroing elimination.
+     * In an overwhelming majority of cases, a normal Java allocation should be used instead.
+     * <p>
+     * Users of this method are <b>required</b> to overwrite the initial (garbage) array contents
+     * before allowing untrusted code, or code in other threads, to observe the reference
+     * to the newly allocated array. In addition, the publication of the array reference must be
+     * safe according to the Java Memory Model requirements.
+     * <p>
+     * The safest approach to deal with an uninitialized array is to keep the reference to it in local
+     * variable at least until the initialization is complete, and then publish it <b>once</b>, either
+     * by writing it to a <em>volatile</em> field, or storing it into a <em>final</em> field in constructor,
+     * or issuing a {@link #storeFence} before publishing the reference.
+     * <p>
+     * @implnote This method can only allocate primitive arrays, to avoid garbage reference
+     * elements that could break heap integrity.
+     *
