/**
 * An output target for raw bytes. This interface provides semantics that support two types of
 * writing:
 *
 * <p><b>Traditional write operations:</b>
 * (as defined by {@link java.io.OutputStream}) where the target method is responsible for either
 * copying the data or completing the write before returning from the method call.
 *
 * <p><b>Lazy write operations:</b> where the caller guarantees that it will never modify the
 * provided buffer and it can therefore be considered immutable. The target method is free to
 * maintain a reference to the buffer beyond the scope of the method call (e.g. until the write
 * operation completes).
