+/*
+ * Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
+ * long, overflow safe strings.
+ *
+ * Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
+ *
+ * 1. the ->buf member is always malloc-ed, hence strbuf's can be used to
+ *    build complex strings/buffers whose final size isn't easily known.
+ *
+ *    It is NOT legal to copy the ->buf pointer away.
+ *    `strbuf_detach' is the operation that detachs a buffer from its shell
+ *    while keeping the shell valid wrt its invariants.
+ *
+ * 2. the ->buf member is a byte array that has at least ->len + 1 bytes
+ *    allocated. The extra byte is used to store a '\0', allowing the ->buf
+ *    member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
+ *    invariant is preserved.
+ *
+ *    Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
+ *    that way:
+ *
+ *    strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
+ *       ... Here, the memory array starting at sb->buf, and of length
+ *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that
+ *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is at least SOME_SIZE.
+ *    strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
+ *
+ *    Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to strbuf_avail(sb).
+ *
+ *    Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
+ *    missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
+ *
+ *    XXX: do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size ->alloc - 1
+ *         even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
+ *         "private" member that should not be messed with.
