at this time, SetData takes an array, jobs only output NativeArray, which then need to be ToArray-ified first, but ToArray and CopyTo allocates an array internally, and this makes the GC sad.

I think the Job team will take the minimalist route and add a non alloc CopyTo, but in case they don’t, it would help a lot to have SetData (NativeArray).
