Usefull ByteBuffer methods are not present in ChannelBuffer

[Atra]

Hi,

I am trying to replace some code where ByteBuffer is used with
ChannelBuffer, but found that the following methods are absent:

-getChar() Reads the next two bytes at this buffer's current position
-getFloat() Reads the next four bytes at this buffer's current position,
   composing them into a float value according to the current byte order,
   and then increments the position by four. 
-getDouble() Reads the next eight bytes at this buffer's current position,
   composing them into a double value according to the current byte order,
   and then increments the position by eight.
-putChar()
-putFloat()
-putDouble()

-array() The array that backs this buffer

is there a way to add them as standart methods (like readChar() etc.) to
ChannelBuffer and not trying to implementing them on my own?
Thanks.
