/**
* An output target for raw bytes. This interface provides semantics that support two types of
* writing:
*
* Traditional write operations: (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.
*
*
Lazy write operations: 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).
