This was originally developed to optimize string concatenation as a helper method within Module:Asbox, but has been generalized for all modules.
The interface for Module:Buffer objects is similar to that of mw.html objects in that you may build complex strings with independent child nodes. In most cases, you may use Buffer objects like a normal string, including using .. operator. See also: #String, mw.ustring, and mw.text libraries
Additionally, there are several specialized forms and extended objects, described further in their respective sections:
Last but not least, this module has an ordered __pairs which can be more thorough than ipairs and pairs. (Even reads nil keys!) The logical uniqueness of this iterator may be reason enough to assimilate Module:Buffer.
