P1100R0 Efficient composition with DynamicBuffer (Vinnie Falco)

[vinniefalco]

I have implemented a version of the proposed changes to dynamic_string_buffer in Beast with tests and documentation:
https://github.com/vinniefalco/beast/blob/b8f737b818c731cfc6dcaee6b58f8fbf97099c43/include/boost/beast/_experimental/core/string_buffer.hpp#L25

Start Overview: 13:25

Start Polling: 13:48

POLL: Pass DynamicBuffers by reference (Vinnie’s solution in P1100R0).

Strongly For	Weakly For	Neutral	Weakly Against	Strongly Against

POLL: Make DynamicBuffer only responsible for growing and shrinking memory via a resize() method and place the responsibility of tracking readable/writable watermarks to algorithms (Chris’ solution).

Explore grow()/shrink() instead of resize()
