1395+
A native `External` value is a special type of object whose
1396+
data is not stored within the JavaScript managed heap
1397+
and does not conform to standard JavaScript types. Such
1398+
objects are created either by Node.js internals or native
1399+
addons and are wrapped by a JavaScript object.
