I'm working on a frame concept, which is something like a bidirectional buffer. It allows to prepend and append binary data, and obtain/remove the header and the trailer.
In addition we can split a frame in fragments and join fragments to make a frame.
That sounds like a multi-block buffer, i.e., a buffer that instead of one contiguous memory block manages a sequence of such blocks. While this would allow more efficient resizing, prepending, etc., the interface becomes somewhat more complicated. But it can be another implementation, in addition to the simple buffer. I didn't want to mention this possibility initially in order to keep things simple, but it seem people here are more interested in the complex than simple ;-).
