  Description     : Buffer collections as contiguous partially mutable Buffer

The buffers module allows you to treat a collection of Buffers as a single
contiguous partially mutable Buffer.

Where possible, operations execute without creating a new Buffer and copying
everything over.

buffers is a cleaner more Buffery rehash of bufferlist.


node-buffers is required for node-binary (#779518) which in turn is
required for node-decompress-zip (#779498).

The node-buffers package will be maintained in the JavaScript team.
