/** Helper to permit a buffer sequence to be printed to a std::ostream

    This function is used to wrap a buffer sequence to allow it to
    be interpreted as characters and written to a `std::ostream` such
    as `std::cout`. No character translation is performed; unprintable
    and null characters will be transferred as-is to the output stream.

    @par Example
    This function prints the size and contents of a buffer sequence
    to standard output:
    @code
    template <class ConstBufferSequence>
    void
    print (ConstBufferSequence const& buffers)
    {
        std::cout <<
            "Buffer size: " << buffer_bytes(buffers) << " bytes\n"
            "Buffer data: '" << make_printable(buffers) << "'\n";
    }
    @endcode

    @param buffers An object meeting the requirements of
    <em>ConstBufferSequence</em> 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.
