 * Advanced buffer implementation.

 * Instances of UcxBuffer can be used to read from or to write to like one
 * would do with a stream. This allows the use of ucx_stream_copy() to copy
 * contents from one buffer to another.
 * 
 * Some features for convenient use of the buffer
 * can be enabled. See the documentation of the macro constants for more
 * information.
