:mrdocs:

Create a buffer manager for allocating memory blocks. Optionally specify an alignment `strategy` used to align allocated memory blocks. If `strategy` is not specified, natural alignment is used. A default constructed buffer manager is unable to allocate any memory until an external buffer is provided by calling the `replaceBuffer` method.
