 * 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).
