A Buffer trait for reading into uninitialized buffers.

This is a repo about the Buffer trait idea covered in a recent blog post.

rustix's Buffer trait is sealed for now, for practical reasons, and not all of the ideas discussed in the post are implemented.

To illustrate the full Buffer idea, this repo contains a library with a fully public Buffer trait, and adds support for using Buffer using entirely safe code.

Feedback is welcome! Nothing here is set in stone.
