/// A pure virtual protocol class for abstracted data buffers.
///
/// DataBuffer is an abstract class that gets packaged into a shared pointer
/// that can use to implement various ways to store data (on the heap, memory
/// mapped, cached inferior memory). It gets used by DataExtractor so many
/// DataExtractor objects can share the same data and sub-ranges of that
/// shared data, and the last object that contains a reference to the shared
/// data will free it.
///
/// Subclasses can implement as many different constructors or member
/// functions that allow data to be stored in the object's buffer prior to
/// handing the shared data to clients that use these buffers.
///
/// All subclasses must override all of the pure virtual functions as they are
/// used by clients to access the data. Having a common interface allows
/// different ways of storing data, yet using it in one common way.
///
/// This class currently expects all data to be available without any extra
/// calls being made, but we can modify it to optionally get data on demand
/// with some extra function calls to load the data before it gets accessed.
