+// Note about Buffer interface:

+// memory allocation. This might turn out to be too simple - it seems that
+// I always use a buffer.used member to keep track of how much I've filled.
+// Perhaps giving the Buffer a file-like interface with a head (which would
+// represent buffer.used) that can be seeked around would be easier. I'm not
+// yet convinced that every use-case can be fit into that abstraction, so
+// waiting to implement it until I get more experience with this.
