/// Owned, growable, contiguous memory buffer.
///
/// This class provides a single contiguous buffer.  Therefore, it may
/// have to move data when it grows.  It is implemented as a Buffer
/// that is resized using realloc.
///
/// The caller can provide a user-defined, pre-allocated buffer, which
/// will then be used as long as it suffices; a new buffer will be
/// allocated if not.  This can be used to remove the need for
/// allocation in use cases where the object is small.
///
/// Objects have a growable total capacity, which is split into two
/// parts; the read part and the write part, each represented as a
/// `Buffer_view`.  The intended use case is where the user interacts
/// with an API that produces data into a user-provided buffer.  The
/// user can then: (1) grow the buffer before invoking the API; (2)
/// invoke the API to write data to the write part; (3) tell the
/// Managed_buffer to move the written bytes to the read part.
///
/// Generally, std::stringstream or std::vector<char> are safer and
/// simpler interfaces for buffers and should be preferred when
/// possible.  However they do not fit all use cases:
///
/// - std::stringstream is preferrable and more convenient when
///   appending existing data to the stream.  But it is not suitable
///   for interaction with C-like APIs that produce data in a char*
///   given by the caller.  The user would need to allocate a buffer
///   outside the stringsteam and then append the buffer to the
///   stringstream, which would imply unnecessary memory and cpu
///   overheads.
///
/// - When using a C-like API that produces data in a char* given by
///   the caller, std::vector is often good.  The user can reserve as
///   much memory as needed and then pass the underlying data array to
///   the API.  However, the following properties are sometimes
///   advantageous for Managed_buffer:
///
///   - Vector has no practical way to put an exact bound on the
///     memory usage.  Managed_buffer uses a Grow_calculator which
///     allows exact control on memory usage, including a maximum
///     capacity.
///
///   - Even for small buffer sizes, vector needs at least one heap
///     allocation.  Managed_buffer allows the use of a default buffer
///     of fixed size, for example allocated on the stack.  This can
///     reduce the need for heap allocation in use patterns where the
///     required buffer capacity is *usually* small.
///
/// The main drawback of Managed_buffer is that it is non-standard and
/// has a minimal feature set.
///
/// The main difference between Buffer_sequence and Managed_buffer, is
/// that Managed_buffer keeps data in a contiguous buffer, whereas
/// Buffer_sequence never copies data.
///
/// This class never throws any exception.
///
/// @tparam Char_tp The char type; usually char or unsigned char.
