/** Return an object representing a @b ConstBufferSequence.

    This function wraps a reference to a buffer sequence and permits
    the following operation:

    @li `operator<<` to `std::ostream`. No character translation is
        performed; unprintable and null characters will be transferred
        as-is to the output stream.

    @par Example
    @code
        multi_buffer b;
        ...
        std::cout << buffers(b.data()) << std::endl;
    @endcode

    @param b An object meeting the requirements of @b ConstBufferSequence
    to be streamed. The implementation will make a copy of this object.
    Ownership of the underlying memory is not transferred, the application
    is still responsible for managing its lifetime.

/** Return an output stream that formats values into a @b DynamicBuffer.

    This function wraps the caller provided @b DynamicBuffer into
    a `std::ostream` derived class, to allow `operator<<` stream style
    formatting operations.

    @par Example
    @code
        ostream(buffer) << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
    @endcode

    @note Calling members of the underlying buffer before the output
    stream is destroyed results in undefined behavior.

    @param buffer An object meeting the requirements of @b DynamicBuffer
    into which the formatted output will be placed.

    @return An object derived from `std::ostream` which redirects output
    The wrapped dynamic buffer is not modified, a copy is made instead.
    Ownership of the underlying memory is not transferred, the application
    is still responsible for managing its lifetime. The caller is
    responsible for ensuring the dynamic buffer is not destroyed for the
    lifetime of the output stream.
