Convertible to mutable buffer requirements

A type that meets the requirements for convertibility to a mutable buffer must meet the requirements of CopyConstructible types (C++ Std, 20.1.3), and the requirements of Assignable types (C++ Std, 23.1).

In the table below, X denotes a class meeting the requirements for convertibility to a mutable buffer, a and b denote values of type X, and u, v and w denote identifiers.

Table 7. ConvertibleToMutableBuffer requirements

mutable_buffer u(a);
