Would it be possible for Racket to export something like `fxvector->cpointer`?

Racket has `flvector->cpointer`, which allows me to make my own `my-shared-flector` struct work also for `flvector` without losing any efficiency (and actually gaining some efficiency because I can now use `memcpy`), but there's currently no corresponding `fxvector->cpointer`.

Apparently there's an [old PR](https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/2478/commits) for this.
