Detailed Description

General-purpose automatically managed/resized buffer.

In most respect, the Buffer class is equivalent to a std::vector<uint8_t>, and it in fact uses the latter as a base class. In addition to that, it provides the get<T>() helper method that automatically casts the returned pointer to the requested type.
