+1.

I use the affected constructs every day, and without this proposal using them 
correctly and safely requires working around a lot of missing API surface area. 
This will allow me to clean up my code significantly.

It is a logical extension of the UnsafePointer and UnsafeBufferPointer model, 
allowing many existing operations on UnsafePointer to be performed directly on 
UnsafeBufferPointer.

N/A

I did a in-depth review of an earlier draft. I did a quick read of this final 
one.
