(Whiteboard: PJS) 

The current ParallelArray always uses a normal JS array as its backing array. The current strawman of the spec includes optional type annotations that permit the use of typed arrays instead, based on the ES6 binary data specifiers.  As the binary data spec is not yet finalized, we are prototyping this API based on typed arrays and mocked up descriptors. Supporting typed arrays is not only more memory efficient but it allows for easier interoperability with other web APIs that expected typed arrays.
