Class std.outbuffer.OutBuffer
OutBuffer provides a way to build up an array of bytes out
of raw data. It is useful for things like preparing an
array of bytes to write out to a file.
OutBuffer's byte order is the format native to the computer.
To control the byte order (endianness), use a class derived
from OutBuffer.
OutBuffer's internal buffer is allocated with the GC. Pointers
stored into the buffer are scanned by the GC, but you have to
ensure proper alignment, e.g. by using alignSize((void*).sizeof).
