/** A dynamic buffer providing sequences of variable length.

    A dynamic buffer encapsulates memory storage that may be
    automatically resized as required, where the memory is
    divided into two regions: readable bytes followed by
    writable bytes. These memory regions are internal to
    the dynamic buffer, but direct access to the elements
    is provided to permit them to be efficiently used with
    I/O operations.

    The implementation uses a sequence of one or more byte
    arrays of varying sizes to represent the readable and
    writable bytes. Additional byte array objects are
    appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the
    desired size. The behavior and implementation of this
    container is most similar to `std::deque`.

    Objects of this type meet the requirements of <em>DynamicBuffer</em>
    and have the following additional properties:

    @li A mutable buffer sequence representing the readable
    bytes is returned by @ref data when `this` is non-const.

    @li Buffer sequences representing the readable and writable
    bytes, returned by @ref data and @ref prepare, may have
    length greater than one.

    @li A configurable maximum size may be set upon construction
    and adjusted afterwards. Calls to @ref prepare that would
    exceed this size will throw `std::length_error`.

    @li Sequences previously obtained using @ref data remain
    valid after calls to @ref prepare or @ref commit.

    @tparam Allocator The allocator to use for managing memory.
