/* Buffer
 *
 * Arbitary length block of data with simple sequential access methods:
 *
 *   Append single character or block of data to end of buffer
 *   Rewind read offset to start of "file".
 *   Fetch single character or block of data from read position
 *
 * Typically small (< 8Kbytes). Should optimise for small buffers.
 *
 *  Methods:
 *    addchar    (add single character to end)
 *    addblock   (add arbitary block of data to end)
 *    seek       (seek to position in buffer)
 *    current    (current offset)
 *    length     (current length of buffer)
 *    getchar    (fetch single character from current position, advance)
 *    getblock   (fetch block of data from current position, advance)
 *
 * Propose:
 *   Implement using pools and linked lists to start off with
 *   Come back and redo using backing store files if this all works out.
