util.dbuffer: dynamic string buffer Similar to util.ringbuffer (and shares almost identical API). Differences: - size limit is optional and dynamic - does not allocate a fixed buffer of max_size bytes - focus on simply storing references to existing string objects where possible, avoiding unnecessary allocations - references are still stored in a ring buffer to enable use as a fast FIFO Optional second parameter to new() provides the number of ring buffer segments. On Lua 5.2 on my laptop, a segment is ~19 bytes. If the ring buffer fills up, the next write will compact all strings into a single item.
