 *
 *  The benefit of using stream interface is that it provides automatic buffering of

 *  when writing small pieces of data.
 *
 *  Usage example:
 *  @code
 *  OBufferStream obuf;
 *  obuf.put(0);
 *  obuf.write(anotherBuffer, anotherBufferSize);
 *  shared_ptr<Buffer> buf = obuf.buf();
 *  @endcode
