:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Prepend the specified `length` bytes from the specified `source` address to the specified `dest`. Use the existing capacity in `dest` first if `0 == dest‐>length()`, followed by that in the `buffer`, and finally allocate from the blob buffer factory associated with the `dest`. Load any unused space into the specified `buffer`. The behavior is undefined unless the range `[source, source + length)]` represents a readable sequence of memory.
