This method is equivalent to the UnmanagedMemoryStream constructor. It supports methods that need to initialize the pointer before setting stream variables and, therefore, cannot call the parameterized constructor. Such methods should use the default constructor, UnmanagedMemoryStream(), initialize the pointer, and then invoke the Initialize method.
