...one of the most highly
regarded and expertly designed C++ library projects in the
world.

Create a new non-modifiable buffer from a contiguous container.
template< typename T> const_buffer buffer( const T & data, constraint_t< is_contiguous_iterator< typename T::const_iterator >::value, defaulted_constraint > = defaulted_constraint(), constraint_t< !is_convertible< T, const_buffer >::value, defaulted_constraint > = defaulted_constraint(), constraint_t< !is_convertible< T, mutable_buffer >::value, defaulted_constraint > = defaulted_constraint());
A const_buffer
value equivalent to:
const_buffer( data.size() ? &data[0] : 0, data.size() * sizeof(typename T::value_type));
