+/// therefore all methods take `&self` and not `&mut self`.
+///
+/// It is "reusable": when created it has no backing buffer, you can give it
+/// one with `init` and take it back with `deinit`, and init it again in the
+/// future if needed. This is very non-idiomatic, but helps a lot when storing
+/// it in a `static`.
+///
+/// One concurrent writer and one concurrent reader are supported, even at
+/// different execution priorities (like main and irq).
