// Buffer is a buffer like bytes.Buffer that:

// 1. Uses a buffer pool.
// 2. Frees memory on read.

// If you only have a few buffers and read/write at a steady rate, *don't* use
// this package, it'll be slower.
//
// However:
//
// 1. If you frequently create/destroy buffers, this implementation will be
//    significantly nicer to the allocator.
// 2. If you have many buffers with bursty traffic, this implementation will use
//    significantly less memory.
