not necessarily, you could also be willing to read only a part of the 
buffer, and calculated how the columns were so that to have each of them 
have a different topic/semantic: the buffer is not the only semantic 
division available (but I see that like Lars you like to see buffers used 
in that way, like I initially thought… but aren’t buffers essentially meant 
to be used to represent files? or anything uniquely serializable, for the 
matter)
