That's a nice idea, I'll add it.

I probably should make it a cap it for the array, as arrays that are
too big will simply fail to allocate on the ring buffer.

But it should only check for zero.

Sure.

Yeah, I may need to re-think this. I originally had the "array"
use the "indirect" code, but I'm thinking that isn't necessary.

Thanks for the input.
