/** A linear dynamic buffer.

    Objects of this type meet the requirements of @b DynamicBuffer
    and offer additional invariants:
    
    @li Buffer sequences returned by @ref data and @ref prepare
    will always be of length one.

    @li A configurable maximum buffer size may be set upon
    construction. Attempts to exceed the buffer size will throw
    `std::length_error`.

    Upon construction, a maximum size for the buffer may be
    specified. If this limit is exceeded, the `std::length_error`
    exception will be thrown.

    @note This class is designed for use with algorithms that
    take dynamic buffers as parameters, and are optimized
    for the case where the input sequence or output sequence
    is stored in a single contiguous buffer.
