/// A borrowed byte buffer which is incrementally filled and initialized.
///
/// This type is a sort of "double cursor". It tracks three regions in the buffer: a region at the beginning of the
/// buffer that has been logically filled with data, a region that has been initialized at some point but not yet
/// logically filled, and a region at the end that is fully uninitialized. The filled region is guaranteed to be a
/// subset of the initialized region.
///
/// In summary, the contents of the buffer can be visualized as:
/// ```not_rust
/// [             capacity              ]
/// [ filled |         unfilled         ]
/// [    initialized    | uninitialized ]

/// (`&mut`). The `BorrowedBuf` can be configured (e.g., using `clear` or `set_init`), but cannot be
/// directly written. To write into the buffer, use `unfilled` to create a `BorrowedCursor`. The cursor
/// has write-only access to the unfilled portion of the buffer (you can think of it as a
/// write-only iterator).
