-------------------------------------
Suggested API can't be used until it stabilizes. So leaving this open until it
stabilizes. Tracking issue: [https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32838]

> "What I can see, there is no check for allocation success, so any buffer can
> be created with a null pointer, which leads to soundness problems in most
> methods. Best look into using {{std::alloc::handle_alloc_error}} or
> alternatives. (This problem means that the mutablebuffer is not a safe
> abstraction, and it should preferably not be exposed as public API like
> this.)"
