/// | `&mut [MaybeUninit<T>]` | `(&mut [T], &mut [MaybeUninit<T>])`, holding the initialized and uninitialized subslices. |

/// # Guide to error messages
///
/// Sometimes code using `Buffer` can encounter non-obvious error messages.
/// Here are some we've encountered, along with ways to fix them.
///
/// If you see errors like
/// "cannot move out of `self` which is behind a mutable reference"
/// and
/// "move occurs because `x` has type `&mut [u8]`, which does not implement the `Copy` trait",
/// replace `x` with `&mut *x`. See `error_buffer_wrapper` in
/// examples/buffer_errors.rs.
///
/// If you see errors like
/// "type annotations needed"
/// and
/// "cannot infer type of the type parameter `Buf` declared on the function `read`",
/// you may need to change a `&mut []` to `&mut [0_u8; 0]`. See
/// `error_empty_slice` in examples/buffer_errors.rs.
///
/// If you see errors like
/// "the trait bound `[MaybeUninit<u8>; 1]: Buffer<u8>` is not satisfied",
/// add a `&mut` to pass the array by reference instead of by value. See
/// `error_array_by_value` in examples/buffer_errors.rs.
///
/// If you see errors like
/// "cannot move out of `x`, a captured variable in an `FnMut` closure",
/// try replacing `x` with `&mut *x`, or, if that doesn't work, try moving a
/// `let` into the closure body. See `error_retry_closure` and
/// `error_retry_indirect_closure` in examples/buffer_errors.rs.
///
/// If you see errors like
/// "captured variable cannot escape `FnMut` closure body",
/// use an explicit loop instead of `retry_on_intr`, assuming you're using
/// that. See `error_retry_closure_uninit` in examples/buffer_errors.rs.
