// Buffers and buffer pools.
//
// `CRYPTO_BUFFER`s are simply reference-counted, immutable byte string. A
// single `CRYPTO_BUFFER` can be referenced from multiple parts of an
// application without storing multiple copies of the underlying data in
// memory.
//
// A `CRYPTO_BUFFER_POOL` can be used to additionally deduplicate
// `CRYPTO_BUFFER`s on construction. It maintains weak references to associated
// `CRYPTO_BUFFER`s and returns an existing `CRYPTO_BUFFER` if matching ones
// already exist.
//
// Without a `CRYPTO_BUFFER_POOL`, if two parts of application construct an
// identical `CRYPTO_BUFFER` (e.g. if two TLS connections received the same
// certificate), there will be two copies of the buffer in memory. A
// `CRYPTO_BUFFER_POOL` allows two parts of an application that construct
// `CRYPTO_BUFFER`s to deduplicate their contents, at the cost of more thread
// contention.
