+I forgot to mention that the goal of using UnmanagedMemoryStream is 
+that the user will have access to the actual unmanaged memory 
+pointer so no buffer allocation or memcpy is required to use the 
+resources.
+
+Note that I don't really understand why is a Closed required in 
+current IntPtrStream. As far as I know modules are unloaded only 
+when the AppDomain is unloaded so the pointer should be valid at 
+least for the life time of the AppDomain.
