Re: standard buffer library

[jim@...]

The main reason we did not use strings for buffers
was the lack of support for changing a string's contents
without recreating the string in memory. For example
bit operations on a particular byte or set of bytes in a 
texture.

I think strings work fine though as a 'base implementation'
of the GL interface for Lua.
